What happens when a prospective member calls up and asks for advice??... We say leave a message and we'll get back to you, or we gather together some of the greatest minds in all of AML Nation to answer the call. Last week's guest Bradd Williamson had fallen asleep in the studio while trying to decide whether or not to join the NMRA, so it only seemed natural to make a podcast out of it. Bradd was trying to decide if joining the NMRA was worth the money and answered his own question as the night went on. He really wanted to attend a local NMRA regional convention with his buddies and in a final effort to get the ball rolling the “Queso Cowboy” stepped up to the plate and offered a challenge. If Bradd joined Tom Jacobs said he'd follow suit and before the show was over the NMRA had two brand new members added to their ever-growing membership list!!
Members of the AML Nation come in all shapes and sizes from all corners of the globe, with this episode of “a ModelersLife,” we meet one of the Iron City N-Scalers, a group of friendly fellows brought together by some other fellow, who's name we can't recall at this time. Bradd Williamson was destined to be a lone wolf modeler, until one day he decided to find out if model railroading had a presence on the internet. A high school physics teacher from the Jersey Shore has had a passion for model railroading as long as he can remember, quite content to live out his life alone in railroading while the hobby slowly died away. Then one day this creature called social media reared its head and Bradd discovered a whole world of modelers just waiting to become close friends and help him set out on all sorts of exciting adventures!! Grab yourself a big bowl of shredded standardized tests, a tall cool class of Newtonian fluid and enjoy!!

Authorities knew for years that some trucks had a handbrake so sensitive it could be dislodged simply by shutting the cab door - in fact, since just after a man was crushed to death in 2010. But they allowed the trucks to stay on the roads. During this time a second person was killed, and there were multiple near-misses when handbrakes failed.

A vital part that failed with the Interislander ferry Kaitaki adrift and floating towards rocks in high winds, was long overdue for replacement. KiwiRail is still not following recommended maintenance guidelines, according to a report by the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. There was 864 people on board, when the ship lost power to all four engines on January the 28, and then a safety-critical rubber expansion joint ruptured meaning the engines could not be restarted. The joint, which should be replaced every five years, was 18 years old. Adding to KiwiRail's woes, Auckland commuters were in chaos on Friday morning with essentially all train services in the city knocked out. Soon after Wellington's train fiasco earlier in the week. KiwiRail chief executive Peter Reidy talks to Lisa Owen.
A vital part that failed leaving an Interislander ferry drifting towards rocks in high winds, should have been replaced years ago. There were nearly a thousand people on board the Kaitaki when it lost power and issued a mayday in late January - and was blown towards the south coast in Wellington. One of the vessel's safety-critical rubber expansion joints had ruptured. The Transport Accident Investigation Commission says the joints were too old to be in operation and has concerns for the rest of KiwiRail's fleet. Kirsty Frame has the story.

A fault with KiwiRail's overhead power lines has caused commuter chaos across Auckland this morning, with train services cancelled across the city.

The report finds that one of the ships safety-critical rubber expansion joints ruptured and prevented the engines restarting, and that the joint was old and overdue for replacement.

Here comes another podcast with another great story from the AML Nation, this time we travelled all the way to Switzerland to visit with a locomotive engineer that's about to change careers and become a police officer. Transitioning from being a locomotive engineer to a member of the local constabulary will involve several changes for Robin but it quickly became obvious to us that it won't be getting in the way of his ongoing enthusiasm for the hobby. American prototype modeling is alive and well in Switzerland with an active group of dedicated modelers accurately depicting railroading in north America. Robin has enjoyed weathering locomotives and rolling stock for some time now and with an impressive collection of brass engines his modeling can stand with the best of them.
