Hello Poptarts!
In this episode, I’ve decided to start a new miniseries, wherein I will cover all the major railroads throughout history. In this first episode, however, I will give you a brief overview of the entire history of North American railroads, from the 1820s to the present! Hopefully, as this series goes on, you will be inspired by a railroad or two to research more and maybe even start building a model railroad thereof!
Proto-Future is attempting to do something which has never been done in model railroading before. I am here to ruffle feathers, seed ideas, get rusty gears turning, and help the hobby escape the transition-era worshiping rut we’ve been in for 30+ years, thereby better appealing to younger generations and improving the world around us along the way. If you have any thoughts at all – good or bad – pause for a second, think them through, make sure they’re logical, then email me, and we’ll see where it goes.
While the podcast is transitioning to Proto-Future, I still happily accept beginner questions and will address them on-air every now and then. Feel free to email me via the contact form, and I’ll do my best to help you in your quest.
