How grateful are we to have been able to record 200 complete episodes of the Bench Time Podcast together as Father and Son? We can't even begin to explain how much we've learned by sharing our journey together in the model railroading and fine scale modeling community with all of you! Over the past six years we've been able to meet so many great people and with our new plans and slight changes to this podcast, we plan to meet many more! We thought it would be fitting to check in on a few of our friends and bring on a new guest to the show for the 200th episode. So what better way to share the episode with 4 great individuals in the hobby! First up is Wayman Humphrey of Pro Scale Models! Check out his great work and YouTube at these links (non-affiliate links): Pro Scale Models on YouTube Pro Scale Models on IG Pro Scale Models on FB ProScaleModelsco.com Second on the list are Ryan and Tom from White Rose Hobbies, the local Hobby Shop in York, PA (non-affiliate links): WhiteRoseHobbies.com White Rose Hobbies on FB Also, since he was mentioned check out Fred Eisen's grat YouTube videos, including the store tour! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnRYfX7Cwq_obGLyIuPGGHA/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 We had a blast with Ryan and Tom and we hope that we can focus on other aspects of the scale modeling and general hobby world in the future on the podcast! Thanks for joining guys! Last but definitely not least was return guest Ron Klaiss of Mine Mount Models, LLC! Ron has a great line of fine scale models across a variety of scales! Check out all of the great stuff that Mine Mount Models has on their site, including the Mine Mount Minutes for tips & tricks: (non-affiliate links) MineMountModels.com Mine Mount Models on FB Mine Mount Models on IG It's been such a great time, and we appreciate that there are a few people that tune in and listen to us ramble… Here's to 200 more!
Anyone who has listened long enough to the show knows my affinity for cottage industry, so it was a thrill to talk to Ron Klaiss about his model railroading journey that led to the launch of Mine Mount Models. Ron talks about his early days of model railroading, then talks about how his business was born from a love of structures and a desire to recreate. Later, Ron and I discuss a common side effect of hobbies within the hobby and how the layout can suffer for them.Check out Mine Mount Models and their fine craftsman kit offerings:https://minemountmodels.com/Follow Mine Mount Models on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/minemountmodelsSupport the podcast and get yourself signed up for free giveaways by becoming a member of the ATLP Operating Crew!patreon.com/AroundTheLayoutPodcastCheck out our website: www.aroundthelayout.comFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/aroundthelayoutSend us an email: aroundthelayout@gmail.com
It's part three of the Springfield, “Big E”, Amherst Society train show reports, where a great time was had by all. This show is a wonderful opportunity to connect with old friends make new ones and browse a through a large variety of vendors all in one location, plus the pre-show clinics giving everyone a chance to learn more about the hobby. On this podcast we hear from the folks at Hattons, one of the largest model railroad vendors in Britain, learn more about the Reading Historical Society, chat with our old friend Ron Klaiss from Mine Mount Models and promise George that next year we'll visit his layout. This year was the first show since weathering a worldwide pandemic and the snowstorm of the century. The crowds were huge, and the fun was enormous. Enjoy!!

In this podcast we get an update from Ron Klaiss of Mine Mount Models and news of his latest kit, McQuirk Coal and included with this kit is a coal conveyer Ron designed and built. If you ask Ron nicely and tell him the crew at the AML Nation sent you, he might just sell the conveyor separately. After the subway chimes, we meet up with Keith Revell who fills us in on the progress of his HO scale Shay locomotive, gives us an update on how his company KR Models continues to grow and how to start a model railroad manufacturing company simply by Googling it. There's a whole lot of info in this podcast, so don't get started unless you have a pen and paper handy.

The world is starting to wake up again, just like Bert the Bear after a long winter's hibernation and one sure sign is that model railroad shows are beginning to open up. We here at the ole' AML Network pride ourselves on bringing you the latest news from around the hobby several weeks late. Our old friend Ron from Mine Mount Models is so excited about finally getting a chance to display his fine products in person again, he's dancing around the workshop listening to his favorite Pointer Sisters album. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded shingles, a steaming hot mug of Titebond 2 glue and enjoy !!
What's up, everybody? We're back after an unexpected week off due to some unforeseen circumstances... And we're happy to be back in front of our microphones and talking to this week's guest, Ron Klaiss! Ron, from Mine Mount Models talked with us this week about his newest kit release (which he graciously provided to us in conjunction with the upcoming group-build) of Wiley's Good Times Tavern. This is an awesome kit that we can't wait to get our hands on and build with you guys. There is also a group build special that we talk about in the show! The Group Build will begin on Monday, March 29th, so we have plenty of time to get all of our supplies in order and prepare for the fun 6 or so weeks straight of building! In addition to the new kit and group build, we get into our usual fun banter about model building techniques, crazy rants and typical humor that we enjoy the most. Thanks again to Ron for joining us this week and we really hope you all enjoyed this week's show! Find more of our episodes here: https://hoscalecustoms.com/
