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.
