ATLP Rewind: Michael Gross and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe - September 19, 2023
Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description
ATLP Rewind - Originally aired September 19, 2023
There's something really cool when you find out that someone you watched on television and in movies is a fellow model railroader. On this podcast, we get to learn more about Michael Gross, the man who, among many acting accomplishments, portrayed TV dad Steven Keaton on Family Ties for seven seasons. It becomes clear early on that he's no actor when it comes to being a model railroader; he's the real deal with a wealth of knowledge and a passion for all things railroading. Michael also tells us about his family roots in railroading, and how his grandfather's career in railroading inspired him to become a modeler and a railroader himself.
Michael's appearance in Rapido's "The Drop" is not to be missed! Check it out here:
