Welcome to the podcast! Here, you’ll be able to find the episodes from both the Beginner’s Guide to Model Railroading and the Proto-Future Podcast. Happy listening!
Part of why I’m so hard on Madison is because it’s so tantalizingly close to being a place deserving of its reputation... If I’d be open to moving 700 miles away to Madison, I’d also be open to moving 900 miles away to Minneapolis, and I think, at this moment, I’d get a much better experience for it.
This trailer succinctly describes the purpose and scope of Proto-Future, and the long-term plan for how it fits in with the Beginner’s Guide to Model Railroading.
Greetings, Poptarts!
Well! It has been a while. You know, as I do.
This episode is a bonus essay on the philosophy of model railroading, one of my favourite subjects. It covers the ethos of narrative and autonomic artificial intelligence in building and operating a model railroad. Tell me how you like it!
The next episode will be a return to the railroads of the Northeast! For realizes, this time. Maybe only Northern New England. I don’t know! We’ll see! I’ve learned to not make plans! I give up!

Proto-Future is attempting to do something which has never been done in model railroading before. I am here to ruffle feathers, seed ideas, get rusty gears turning, and help the hobby escape the transition-era worshiping rut we’ve been in for 30+ years, thereby better appealing to younger generations and improving the world around us along the way. If you have any thoughts at all – good or bad – pause for a second, think them through, make sure they’re logical, then email me, and we’ll see where it goes.
While the podcast is transitioning to Proto-Future, I still happily accept beginner questions and will address them on-air every now and then. Feel free to email me via the contact form, and I’ll do my best to help you in your quest.
