I enjoy cycling for fun and exercise, but model rairoading has been a prime hobby since my days as a pre-adolescent. I also devote much time to photography, videography (much to do with my modeling), and music (singing and recording). And last, but not least, much time is spent with my family: my wife Lina, my two sons and their families, including 2 pre-school aged grandsons, and, at this time, a 3rd grandchild ( a girl!) on the way.”


Arnie’s stuff really is breathtaking.

And I felt very priviliged when you was kind enough to go through the Model Railroading for Beginners guide (in fact, at the time of writing he’s the biggest contributor).

I really got an insight in to how he crafts such beautiful layouts – take a look and you’ll see what I mean:
