Model Rail Radio #63: Spanky's Revenge [September 22, 2012]

Edward Traxler starts the show talking about a three-rail scenic-ing clinic he's working on. Paul Best gives an update on his wonderful club. Tom gives an account of failed technology (a theme that continues through the show in one form or another) and his experiences meeting the Professor and co the day before the recording. Mike Kenefeck introduces his Canadian Pacific layout. Spanky and Mike Slater take control of the show. There is an ongoing discussion about the distinctions between the UK and the US. Andreas Kold Skensved gives an update of his changing layout. The crew discuss free-mo. Peter Stempel chimes in to ask a question about Danish prototypes. Terry Terrance muses about the possibility of O-scale free-mo (Free-MoO? perhaps). John Hunter calls in to make an announcement about a track planning contest he is running currently. Roger stirs the pot a little. Tom gets back on the show briefly, enough to chat with Mike Slater on swap meets. The show ends early but the post show features Charlie Shulz: an up-and-coming videographer and model railroader. Well worth staying around until the end of the show for this chat. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week. For more information, http://www.modelrailradio.com/
