Midday Modeler — 05.25.2022 — This week is Model Railroader’s first live streamed “fun run” around the MR&T model train layout.
MR&T officially stands for Milwaukee, Racine & Troy — a fictitious railroad based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Unofficially, the letters represent Model Railroader and Trains — for the two original magazines that formed the core of Kalmbach Media’s early publishing days.
Model Railroader staff and friends have decided to upgrade the layout to enable regular operating sessions, just like in the old days when an earlier version of the layout was in downtown Milwaukee.
Joining today’s #middaymodeler session were David Popp, Eric White, Cody Grivno, Brian Schmidt, and Steve Otte. Together they ran trains and showed off the kind of work that needs to be done to get the MR&T model train layout in top shape.
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 — 05.25.2022 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.
