        <title>Model Rail Radio #74: Again, I Think You Have Pressed the Mute [May 11, 2013]</title>
        <itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
        <description>Tom starts the show with Andy Dixson who introduces how he got interested in model rail and his current plans for multiple layouts. Dave Frary calls in to talk about BBQ, lobster fishing secrets and his early experiences with trains. Somehow Tom sways the conversation to magazines: Dave gives his insight. Tom congratulates Terry for his Bertie win and they talk about his clinics in Canada (reviewed by Bryan Schilling) on the Launchpad and some discussions of Shapeways too. Terry thinks model railroaders should occupy hackerspaces too. Tom predicts a revolutionary Terry Terrance scenery clinic coming to a trainshow near you shortly (with the next two years at least). Tom asks if John Armstrong's layout sections ever get updated scenery. Tom starts the ongoing discussion associated with setting up an operating session clearing the air with Lionel on the previous show's discussion. Clark Kooning provides his own perspective on number of layouts in a lifetime. Tom asks Clark Kooning how he is going to educate the next generation on putting on amazing conventions. Tom asks about Clark's layout (Bryan Schilling provides another review). Seth Neumann calls in to fill in some of the gaps in the operating session discussion. 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). Check out the Tam Valley Depot site for more information. Duncan raps about some of his operating experiences. Bob Dye is starting a new prototype layout. 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. Tom and Mike rap about Chicago rail modeling possibilities. Brian Gilhuly discusses a local shop that has celebrated an amazing anniversary recently. They lament the hobby store as a potentially declining phenomenon. Tom Wilson wraps up the show talking about repairs on the layout and he wants to provide a dispatching session in audio session. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week. For more information, http://www.modelrailradio.com/</description>

        <title>Model Rail Radio #73: Full Circle [April 20, 2013]</title>
        <itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
        <description>Mike and Tom chat the Bertie winners this year starting with Mike's particular passion, O scale. Mike talks about an operating session with the Rindts. Ralph is trying to teach himself weathering. Jim Gore jumps in to talk about his weathering techniques and his latest passions in the hobby. Clark gets a little wacky on weathering and don't show him a boxcar fresh from the box either. Tom chats with Clark about a few emails he has received through the week. Vera has been working on a shelf for the shelf layout contest. Tom Wilson calls in for the first time (although his layout has featured in a previous show) to introduce his model railroading interests. Tom wanted to ask the important questions. Jim Rindt calls in to confirm Tom's suspicion on an operating session long overdue. Peter Rindt provides an update on his perspective of the operating session too. Marty provides an update on his layout. Marty asks about organizing an operating session with particular questioning to Lionel and Bruce Wilson. From picking the crew to what to expect. This is a part one of a topic that will no doubt be continued in future shows. Have people ever been removed from Lionel's layout? Tom will not rest until this question is answered. Clark Kooning refuses to do an impersonation. (Editorial note: this is part one of this discussion. The crew returns with Seth Neumann next show to finish this topic.) Tom regains control of the show to let Jim Lincoln know he's won a Bertie. Jim announces some sad news. Jim gives a Chocolate update and talks about the effects of the Boston Marathon bombing on commuter rail. Jim has a question for the Prof. C-clamp fans get your complaint emails ready. Jim reminds Tom that he is responsible for the Lionel/Professor feud. The Prof gets a second wind and continues the discussion of bolt connections. Jim notes the teenagers have left the building. The Prof has found a novel used for one of his layouts: exactly what it was originally intended for. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week.

        <title>Model Rail Radio #71: What's Not to Heavy Breath About? [March 16, 2013]</title>
        <itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
        <description>Tom starts the show talking with Vera about the part one winners of the Shelf Layout Design Contest and a few entries who didn't quite make the winner circle. Toni Ryan talks about his winning track plans. Mike Slater did not spend his gas or his lunch money thankfully at the Two Rail O Scale meet in Chicago. Tom catches up with Toni early in the show. Lionel Strang is the Barbara Walters of model railroading. Jimmy Simmons calls in to give an update and he brings a friend: some unknown guy called Scotty Mason. Tom jumps Scott into the Model Rail Radio fraternity with some hard questions. The crew discuss a favorite topic with Scott. Tom introduces the Silencer to the Professor. The Professor gives his general observations of the winners of the Shelf Layout Design Contest. Terry explains his speed matching introductory problem for potential operators. Ted Roy has discovered Backwoods Miniatures. (Note: this is a dangerous gateway to On30 - do not look up this site online.) Dave Ramos inhabits a different universe. Andy Zimmerman likes some of the Shelf Layout Design Contest winners and provides an update. The Prof and Rod rap about the Australian Narrow Gauge Convention. Rod has made some progress. Dave Ramos has been creating view blocks. Ed Novit asks for Model Rail Radio listeners in Chicago to get in contact and come by and operate. Please contact Ed through the mailing list or the FB group if you would like to operate with Ed. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week.

        <title>Model Rail Radio #63: Spanky's Revenge [September 22, 2012]</title>
        <itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
        <description>Edward Traxler starts the show talking about a three-rail scenic-ing clinic he's working on. Paul Best gives an update on his wonderful club. Tom gives an account of failed technology (a theme that continues through the show in one form or another) and his experiences meeting the Professor and co the day before the recording. Mike Kenefeck introduces his Canadian Pacific layout. Spanky and Mike Slater take control of the show. There is an ongoing discussion about the distinctions between the UK and the US. Andreas Kold Skensved gives an update of his changing layout. The crew discuss free-mo. Peter Stempel chimes in to ask a question about Danish prototypes. Terry Terrance muses about the possibility of O-scale free-mo (Free-MoO? perhaps). John Hunter calls in to make an announcement about a track planning contest he is running currently. Roger stirs the pot a little. Tom gets back on the show briefly, enough to chat with Mike Slater on swap meets. The show ends early but the post show features Charlie Shulz: an up-and-coming videographer and model railroader. Well worth staying around until the end of the show for this chat. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week. For more information, http://www.modelrailradio.com/

        <description>Taking the initiative over a quiet month, Terry took his recorder along to the 2012 O Scale National Convention and recorded a little audio early with Rich Martin of the New York Society of Model Engineers. Through the course of the convention, Terry talked with David Schneider about his company and 19th Century railroading. Terry took some time with Brain Scace to discuss the important topic of layout design elements with modern day careers and movement. Brian also talked about his returning passion of 7mm UK modeling. Dave Vaughn explains how to have multiple heritage layouts through extraction to redesign and combination. By chance, Terry catches up with Tony Koester to talk about the NMRA and the future of the hobby.</description>

    <itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
    <description>Tom starts the show talking with Seth Neumann about his modeling interests including the industry of the East San Francisco Bay and operations. Mike Slater provides a quick update for Grand Rails. Vera and Seth chat about layouts of whimsy in the area. Terry provides an extensive update but refuses to discuss his moonshine experiences. David Harris introduces his interests in N scale and the OpenLCB project. Bob Jacobsen of JMRI fame calls in to talk JMRI, OpenLCB and some layouts that use aspects of JMRI. If you use JMRI, please consider donate to cover Bob's extensive legal costs. Even if you don't use JMRI, please consider donating to the project. Murray discusses building O scale farm buildings with sticks from trees on his property. The Professor and Murray talk about a clinic that has taught thousands of young Australians about building phenomenal scenery.

<title>Post #28: Formerly Known as the Jim Lincoln Show [December 18, 2010]</title>
<itunes:author>Tom Barbalet</itunes:author>
<description>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.
