Bench Time #31 - Jimmy Deignan of Railroad Kits & Jason Jensen

TGIF Modeler friends! Check out this week’s Bench Time podcast Episode 31 with Jimmy Deignan owner of Railroad Kits fine scale craftsman kits! We talk with him about the many facets of his business, The acquisition of all the Fine Scale Minatures (FSM) detail castings, his love of the hobby and the many many inspiring modeling friends he has made in model railroading. And you will get to hear about his acquiring of legendary ho scale layout Pennsy Middle Division (originally built by modeling great Dave Frary) and it’s restoration and modifications that they made to bring it back to life! Also we rap a bit about the Fine Scale Expo, and how it began as he is one of the founders of this great show for craftsman builders and all modelers and this year held November 1-3 in Albany NY!

But there is more! This week, Brett and Todd have guest host and fine scale model artist Jason Jensen join them to talk with Jimmy, and grill him with a few questions of his own! Of course there is the laughs we always have on our show! So settle into your workbench stool, grab something cold to drink, and chill out with your fellow Bench Time Fine Scale Freaks! Enjoy the weekend!
