Legendary Guests Dave Frary and Hal Reynolds. 50 plus yrs of friendship and world-class model railroading

This week we blow the doors off the barn and bring you two model railroad legends.  Dave Frary and Hal Reynolds! They both are not only scenery masters in this hobby, but pioneers, technique geniuses, and great close personal friends for well over 50 years.   

They share so many incredible stories about how they met, shared the same neighborhood, and worked with each other on projects, and with railroad layouts, we have all only read and dreamed of visiting, let alone get to work on.   We talk about Hal's company, Atlantic Scale Modelers and how that came to be. Ironically, Dave helped him put that seed his head. Hal and Dave share with us how Hal was a pioneer of scenic ground foam back in the 70s and the role his father played in helping him create it, and how both men were influential with photography in model railroading and the background they shared in that too!  Just fascinating stuff that you could sit around and listen to all night if we had the time, and never get stale!

We also tossed patron questions at them and they gave some priceless info that you just have to listen to!  So buckle up, take a trip down memory lane, and then back to the present, and enjoy this exceptional rare trip with two of the hobbies greatest!
