I like doing a lot of odd projects involving model trains of all shapes and sizes. Some of my videos are reviews, some are repairs and restorations, some are kit builds, and sometimes a non-train related video might squeeze its way in. Whatever it is I'm doing though, you can bet something unusual is going to come up now and then.
