This week we were very excited to bring Lance Mindheim onto the show! We have had many listeners request us to get Lance on and we finally were able to schedule some time to get together with him and chat modeling with him. Lance provides a lot of great information on his blog at LanceMindheim.com  and from his books over at his bookstore (links are on his site for all books). 

He also has another great site for his business site over at ShelfLayouts.com, so go over there too and check out more of what Lance has been working on and what he has to offer the model railroading community. On this site you can also sign up for his Newsletter and stay up-to-date on everything he's working on. 

We're going to try to get him on again and have a deep dive into a specific topic or two again. We have so much more we want to cover with him and everything we didn't get to ask him yet.

After our time with Lance on this week's episode, we went over all of our usual things like what we're working on, some new thoughts and ideas as well as our What's on Your Bench and Tools of the Week segments.
