Midday Modeler — 04.13.2022: This week! David Popp hosts the weekly Midday Modeler broadcast from the MR&T layout room, then off to the Model Railroader workshop we will go.

Associate Producer Ben Lake kicks off the episode with a brief demonstration based on last week’s question from Facebook about a Wi-Fi control for the MRC Prodigy DCC system. Ben explains this technology and how you can use an Apple iPhone app called WiThrottle to run trains. Then, Cody Grivno and Eric White show off some of their kitbash project updates. As a bonus, Kent and Bob stop by to say “hi!”

The kitbash challenge this year features N scale and HO scale models from Walthers. The models are based on a Union Pacific depot prototype.

Midday Modeler is a new, regular video segment, recorded live and unscripted at Kalmbach Media beginning in February 2022.

The segment features Kalmbach Media staff modeling and talking about model railroads in a casual format. It is unscripted and broadcast live via Facebook on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Central time each week. Anyone who sees the video on Facebook can comment and ask questions, or just say “hi!”

Shortly after the Facebook live stream, the Midday Modeler — 04.13.2022 video is taken down from Facebook and posted to Trains.com where it is available only to Model Railroader Video Plus members and Trains.com Unlimited Members.
