a ModelersLife

It's time for another edition of ViewerMail and if your mail has been mis-delivered, we’ll open it anyways. Just to find out what you're all about and what bills you haven't paid.

So sit back with a big glass of warm dishwater and some stale apple pie while we call Pizza Hut to get the number for Domino’s

Join us as we travel to Rogue River, Oregon to visit with Superfan Number #1 and the creator of the Kelly Questions... Bruce Kelly.

Rick Green, is a Canadian comedian, satirist, writer and model railroader extraordinaire. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rick personnally for more than 20 years but I’ve known of Rick for more than 30 years. He’s best known for his role as “Bill” on the Red Green Show which ran for eleven seasons.

In 2009 Green wrote and directed the documentary about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in adults, entitled ADD & Loving It!!

On February 3, 2015, he was inducted into the Order of Ontario, the province's highest civilian honour.

But enough about me… It’s time to sit back with a big glass of luke warm ice tea and cold bowl of macroni and cheese while you listen episode of a ModelersLife.

So what is the Uncle Larry Show… We’re not sure but when he started talking about an electric fly swatter it sounded like a show.

Take a listen and decide for yourself.

Please keep in mind if at the end you decided you’ve wasted your time we accept no responsibility.

Yup, it’s time…Once again we correspond with the fans. Why?? Because at least one of us can read.

This time we get some special help from our very own special Uncle Larry. Some viewers couldn’t remember what they wanted to say and we discuss why N scale is so tiny.

Enjoy and we’ll put you on list !!

Episode 44: Barry Silverthorn and videographer extraordinaire, travelled to China witnessing first hand, model railroad manufacturing.

Imagine lugging enough cameras and equipment to make a 90 minute documentary halfway around the world to a place so foreign you can’t have kids until the government lets you.

It’s a fascinating story and one we felt had to be told.

One again it's time to answer viewer mail, when you’re done you’ll smile and think to yourself… Well that’s an hour of my life I'll never get back. Listening to Jim, Lionel and the mailroom boy Bruce answering viewer mail is similar to having a car door slammed on your hand… There’s lots of pain and the feeling lasts for days. So relax with a warm beer and some stale Ju-Jubes as we sift through all our mail and try to make sense of world events. 

Episode 43: Sara Kelly – This is the third time we’ve talked to Sara keeping up with the progress on her Model Citizens movie. A journalism professor with more than two decades experience has been shooting the movie for some time and is now hard at work on post production.

We talk with about her experience and what happens next, so sit back with a large mug of warm apple cider and enjoy.

Sick of watching Starsky & Hutch reruns, well fear not, it’s the return of ViewerMail… What’s that you say, “it’s about time.”

We weren’t able to get Huggy Bear but Bruce the Mailboy will be spreading the love once again.

It’s no Honey Boo Boo but that’s why you’re listening. So sit back with a glass of cod liver oil and a block of moldy cheese while your favorite mouth breathers once again deal with chapped lips and dry mouth syndrome.

It’s Episode 42… Time to take your popcorn out of the microwave and learn some new weathering techniques from the man they call Ralphie Boy.

Whether your corn is buttered or unbuttered it matters not because when it comes to weathering your model railroad rolling stock, ya’ gotta make it pop.

So sit back with glass of cabernet and a bag of barbeque pork rinds and enjoy.
