Episode Details

While some will argue that model railroad season is 12 months long, it's hard to deny that,when the weather gets colder, activity in the hobby heats up. On this month's What's Happening In Model Railroading, Mike and Jeff Zucker from Spring Creek Model Trains stop by to tell us how to properly prepare to head back to the train room, what's trending this model railroad season and what should be on everyone's letter to Santa. Mike and Jeff also share their joy in helping model railroaders and their spouses or parents pick out the perfect gift to give for the holidays.
