Legendary Guests Dave Frary and Hal Reynolds. 50 plus yrs of friendship and world-class model railroading This week we blow the doors off the barn and bring you two model railroad legends. Dave Frary and Hal Reynolds! They both are not only scenery masters in this hobby, but pioneers, technique geniuses, and great close personal friends for well over 50 years. They share so many incredible stories about how they met, shared the same neighborhood, and worked with each other on projects, and with railroad layouts, we have all only read and dreamed of visiting, let alone get to work on. We talk about Hal's company, Atlantic Scale Modelers and how that came to be. Ironically, Dave helped him put that seed his head. Hal and Dave share with us how Hal was a pioneer of scenic ground foam back in the 70s and the role his father played in helping him create it, and how both men were influential with photography in model railroading and the background they shared in that too! Just fascinating stuff that you could sit around and listen to all night if we had the time, and never get stale! To check out some of what Hal has to offer, check out his site at Atlantic Scale Modelers! You can also find Dave Frary’s youtube channel here: The Trackside Modeler Dave Frary’s books are also available here We also tossed patron questions at them and they gave some priceless info that you just have to listen to! So buckle up, take a trip down memory lane, and then back to the present, and enjoy this exceptional rare trip with two of the hobbies greatest!
TGIF Modeler friends! Check out this week’s Bench Time podcast Episode 31 with Jimmy Deignan owner of Railroad Kits fine scale craftsman kits! We talk with him about the many facets of his business, The acquisition of all the Fine Scale Minatures (FSM) detail castings, his love of the hobby and the many many inspiring modeling friends he has made in model railroading. And you will get to hear about his acquiring of legendary ho scale layout Pennsy Middle Division (originally built by modeling great Dave Frary) and it’s restoration and modifications that they made to bring it back to life! Also we rap a bit about the Fine Scale Expo, and how it began as he is one of the founders of this great show for craftsman builders and all modelers and this year held November 1-3 in Albany NY! But there is more! This week, Brett and Todd have guest host and fine scale model artist Jason Jensen join them to talk with Jimmy, and grill him with a few questions of his own! Of course there is the laughs we always have on our show! So settle into your workbench stool, grab something cold to drink, and chill out with your fellow Bench Time Fine Scale Freaks! Enjoy the weekend! Railroad Kits Website: RailroadKits.com As discussed in the show, the downloadable PDF book by Dave Frary, The Pennsy Middle Division in HO Scale for a steal at $4.99.
This week we are very excited to have world-renowned modeler Dave Frary on the show. We go over everything from his modeling past, his work with George Sellios, some of his photography work with model railroading and Model Railroader magazine, and a little bit about his past outside of model railroading which included set building on movies, Construction and a whole lot more. This week's episode is a long one and we were just absolutely excited to get Dave on the show, and I'm sure many modelers out there listening have seen some of Dave's work whether it be in a magazine or online or even from some of his self-published books so we hope you're just as excited too.

Marty calls in to ask Seth the questions missed last show. Seth advice is to keep things simple initially. Duncan has released the device formerly known as the Professor Silencer now known as the Train Shuttle (primarily because it didn't fulfill the role of silencing the Prof).

Bob provides a blueprint for his prototyping philosophy. Vera has been having fun with the layout contest build. Mike provides a National Train Day update.

By popular request, here is the infamous post-show featuring Jim Lincoln, Tey Roy and Matt Goodman for most of the call plus some intro banter from Ben Rechel, Clark Kooning and Chris Abbott. Due to the threat of legal action from Harvard, CSX, the City of Mansfield MA, Dave Frary, TalkShoe (as you'll hear), Cuba and the Catholic Church a good portion of the post-show had to be cut. To paraphrase Jim Lincoln, the only way to understand the post-show is to hear it live. That being said, here's a rough recording.
