Generosity can go a long way in helping inspire the younger generation to get involved in the model train hobby. This is just one such example that will hopefully encourage others to be another young persons inspiration.

Here we go everyone, it’s time for another all new Large Scale Live! On this live stream we have a face many have seen here before and a couple new ones appearing for the first time on the show.
Starting off our first guest is none other than John Sacerdote, past president of the Amherst Railway Society and the Show Director for the Northeast Large Scale Train Show. John will be giving us updates on this year’s show (being held on May 3rd and 4th) and what we can expect. Rumor has it it’s even bigger than it was last year! We can’t wait to hear what John has to tell us and we’re sure you can’t wait either.
Our second guest is actually two! Joining us for the first time on Large Scale Live is Steve and Malinda Jungst. There’s a lot of wonderful and caring people in this hobby and they are no exception. Actually, they’re in all honesty pretty exceptional! They will be talking to us about their mission to get the youth more involved and excited about the hobby with the youth clinics they host at shows/conventions called “Making Trains Fun”. We think everyone will find the work they’re doing pretty amazing and hopefully, many will find it inspiring!

Here we are again, everyone starting a new season of Large Scale Live! Season 5 to be exact, who thought we’d still be doing this 5 years later? Obviously it’s all of you, the fans of the show that have kept us doing the show because Nico and I surely don’t do this to talk to each other lol. On this season premier we won’t have a special guest following our tradition of using the first show of the new season to spend some more quality time interacting one on one with all of you. So, starting off we took a break last month as we both made the trip to the RLD Hobbies Open House in Albion Illinois. Although we didn’t do any live coverage while there we do have photos and videos from the trip to follow up with, some of which will show you that a good time can still be had even if it’s raining out lol. After that we’ll get to see the progress Nico has been making on his own personal layout this past summer and we’ll also take a look at a few changes Andrew made on his layout (and a few more he’d like to make).

Everyone, it’s time again for an all new Large Scale Live! On this live stream we’ll be taking a look at some of the many layouts that will be on the upcoming garden railway tour put on by the Columbus Garden Railway Society on September 8th from 1pm to 5pm (See Links below for the clubs website and YouTube Channel). The best part is there is no cost to go on this tour, it’s FREE! To guide us along this journey we have Columbus Garden Railway Society member Jed Hacker as our guest! Some may remember Jed from when he appeared on our show in 2022 or from when he (and other club members) did the live stream series “Work Bench Wednesday” several years ago. As far as the tour the club does in Columbus Ohio, all I can say is if you have the ability to make it you should go. With over a dozen layouts on the tour you will definitely have more layouts to see than you have time for. Hopefully after watching the show it will help guide you to the layout’s you find most interesting. As always, bring your questions as I’m sure there will be a lot about the various layouts and Jed is pretty knowledgeable about each one’s history.
We will of course have info on other upcoming g scale events, product announcements/updates and other general G scale related news! We’ll also be doing another giveaway to give back to our fans but you’ll need to tune in to find out what it is though. As always we look forward to interacting with everyone during the live stream in the chat and we know you’ll enjoy the show!
