Description

<p>Everyone seems to be enthralled by the railroad. When it comes to dads and kids and the railroad, it&#39;s hard to beat the joy of building a model railroad! I grew up in a small, railroad town (<a href="https://www.savanna-il.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Savanna, Illinois</a>). The Milwaukee Road and The Burlington Northern were both very prominent in Savanna. I lived right between the 2 railroads and have always loved trains. My first guest is Michael Frezell and he is part of <a href="https://lmrc.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">a model railroading club </a>and we chat about the magic of the railroad, how to get started in the hobby of building a model railroad, the types of scale (from G to HO) and a bunch more! By the way, if you ever get to Savanna, Illinois, make sure to visit the scale model railroad of the entire town and area, at the <a href="https://www.savannamuseum.org/mod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Savanna Cultural Museum!</a></p> <p>NEXT....</p> <p>There&#39;s a teen mental health crisis in America and our own Surgeon General says that social media plays a big part is bringing on depression in our teens. Dad! This is totally in your wheelhouse! We HAVE to take control of devices and social media postings.
