a ModelersLife

Jim has started a new job in the model railroad industry and we decided it would be fun to follow along and get regular updates. So here it is the first ever "Jim Rindt Update."

Enjoy !!

Tom Barbalet decided to try his luck at the Kelly Questions. We were fortunate enough to find and about Ninja pj's and who's DNA he has in his home. He fixes more than he breaks and has plans. He's one of those community organizers types and managed to leave our very own Jim Rindt speechless on more than one occasion.

Once again it’s time for ViewerMail… Those lovable mouth-breathers that make you squint when they talk. The kind of fellows who'll have you asking yourself… Did I hear that right??

You just never know what you’ll be forced to listen to but after this edition of ViewerMail is over you’ll probably realize that whatever these guys have to say... Could probably wait till there smarter.

Shane Brother Shane... The Cosmic Cowboy. Ever wonder what it's like to meet a model railroader that doesn't sit still. Well now's your chance. We learned about Shane from Chris Atkins the star of Episode 23, he'd purchase a Texas & Pacific section house from Shane on a piece of property that just happened to have enough room left over for a house. 

Shane is one of the most interesting people you'll meet and his enthusiaum for the hobby is infectious. So we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did doing it !!

Here it is, the one you’ve been waiting for… It’s the final episode of the 157 part Smokin’ Joe D’Amato trilogy.  I didn’t think the guy was ever gonna leave, after drinking all our beer and devouring all our snacks (including 2 bags of Ruffles All Dressed potato chips) he’s finally done. 

This episode covers Joe’s position at Micro Trains and we learn all about N-Scale. Plus some thoughts on Z-Scale.

So sit back and relax… I’d offer you some refreshments but…

A hard hitting in depth documentary about what else Superfan #1 Bruce Kelly does when he’s not listening to ModelersLife.

It's Episode 3 of the 118 part Smokin' Joe D'Amato trilogy. In this exciting episode we follow Joe back to Florida where he immediately realizes he's made a mistake shortly after crossing the Alabama-Florida border. He spends the next decade revamping the world renowned Disney World as well helping all of mankind.

So sit back, relax and kick your feet up as we travel the adventure better known as Smokin' Joe D'Amato's life.

Once again it's time for your favorite mouth breathers to answer ViewerMail. With absolutely no idea what to say, they give advice and heartfelt thoughts to listeners all over the world.

Unfortunately they ran out of time before opening up the phone lines for the much anticipated discussion about the Oxford Comma which has some very vocal proponents. Some folks staunchly oppose the use of the Oxford Comma. This would no doubt make for great discussion and we'll hopefully reschedule for a future date.

Here it is Smokin' Joe D'Amato Part Deux... This story justs gets better and better. We travel through the 80's with Joe and discover more and more how he became one of the best model builders in the country.  Fortunately Lionel doesn't talk to much so it's a great interview.

Well here it is, what you've been waiting for all these long weeks, another edition of ViewerMail. Don't worry this edition of the mail isn't any better than any of the rest. So sit back, relax and don't bother to take notes.
