Midday Modeler — 04.06.2022: This week! Classic Toy Trains Editor Hal Miller hosts the weekly Midday Modeler broadcast. If you’ve never experienced a modern toy train locomotive, Hal is here to set you up.
First off, Hal demonstrates a modern O-gauge MTH locomotive decorated for Canadian Pacific and running on the City Terminal & Transfer toy train layout. Then, Hal and David Popp unbox a Menard’s-built toy train bridge, followed by a check-in with an update in the Depot Dash Kitbash building challenge.
The kitbash challenge this year features N scale and HO scale models from Walthers. The models are based on a Union Pacific depot prototype.
Midday Modeler is a new, regular video segment, recorded live and unscripted at Kalmbach Media beginning in February 2022.
The segment features Kalmbach Media staff modeling and talking about model railroads in a casual format. It is unscripted and broadcast live via Facebook on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Central time each week. Anyone who sees the video on Facebook can comment and ask questions, or just say “hi!”.
Shortly after the Facebook live stream, the Midday Modeler — 04.06.2022 video is taken down from Facebook and posted to Trains.com where it is available only to Model Railroader Video Plus members and Trains.com Unlimited Members.
