Of course, this behind-the-scenes look reveals the many skills (and personalities) it takes to build a layout with all of the charm and characteristics worthy of the MR&T monicker!

See what's simmering in and around the Trains.com workshop!
Another fun hour of Midday Modeller.
I know this is intended as a very relaxed glimpse at what happens behind the scenes, but please do something about the sound. The microphone on the iPad is super directional, and if it’s pointed away from the speaker the sound quality drops right off. I notice that David has a lapel mic for the video he’s making. Would it be possible to give him a second connected to the iPad?
The MKT mother and slug looks fantastic, but once Cody started demonstrating the various sounds, it was impossible to make out anything he said. Not sure what can be done about this unless he too has a lapel mic.
Thanks for these videos. They’re a lot of fun to watch.
Marvelous video, great to see everyone having so much fun while still on the job. I need to remember to tune in live next time.
Thank You, this is a great format to have live sessions and communicate with you.
