If you're one of those who think the hobby is dying, have a listen to this podcast. In his early 20's, Kinzer Hurt is already making a big impact on the model railroading hobby with a smaller approach; shelf layouts of short line railroads that allow him to drill into super detailing and cover a variety of railroads he's come to admire through in-person and virtual experiences. Later, I ask Kinzer what younger modelers are looking for and get his take on what's needed to get the next generation involved in the community.
