Midday Modeler — 06.22.2022. This week Kent Johnson hosts our weekly Midday Modeler video from the Kent’s own outdoor garden railroad in southeast Wisconsin.
This week, Kent gives a quick tour to the audience to show off the railroad as a whole, then dives right in with Rene Schweitzer, the long-time production editor for Garden Railways. Kent also chats with digital editor Steve Sweeney, who gives him a dwarf mugo pine, a creeping thyme, and “driveway scrapings” for the layout. Last, but not least, Garden Railways editor Hal Miller puts on the classy white gloves to show off chromed-up Santa Fe cab units as they take a spin on the railroad. All of this, along with Jenny Freeland and Ben Lake. Only at Trains.com!
Midday Modeler is a new, regular video segment, recorded live and unscripted from 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 — 06.22.2022 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.
