If you've ever been to the Railroad Hobby Show in West Springfield, Massachusetts, there's a good chance you've seen Ron's Books and their massive collection of new and used books and DVD's. Now, as they enter into the realm of publishing, it was a great time to have Lee Rosenberg on the show to tell us about the history of the company and what their future plans are. Lee shares how his father, Ron, built the business starting from a single book and a desire to use it to fund his model railroading hobby, leading to today's inventory of over 10,000 books. Later on, Tony and Ray talk about the latest hobby news from Athearn, Tangent, Walthers, Broadway Limited just to name a few plus Tony tells Ray about a new railroad board game he's been playing and a new book from Mike Schafer.

If you're looking for that hard to find book, Ron's Books is the place to go!
