    In this episode you'll learn how to create realistic "custom buildings" from a kit or scratch for your railroad layout.

    In this episode host Chris Chianelli visits Greenfield Village part of the massive museum called The Henry Ford. Henry Ford was passionate about saving buildings and artifacts from Americana -- and Greenfield Village is part of that vision.

    Greenfield Village not only features a restored locomotive that runs along the property, it also boasts an impressive collection of restored and preserved buildings and homes dating back to the 18th century. It is a perfect venue for any model railroader to get some inspiration for constructing buildings on their layout.

    Later in the program Chris visits a couple in Eubank, Kentucky, who have spent years creating an impressive layout -- all with scratch-built structures.

    Finally, Chris is joined in the studio by guest Pat Harriman (master model railroader), who shares tips on building structures from a kit as well as from scratch.
