Not sure how anyone can stand listening to these guys unless they’re into that toxicity.

Bullying should never be ok.

Lost all respect when it came out that they had been bullying the social media director of the NMRA. Promptly unsubscribed.

An absolutely pleasurable listening show! Lionel & Bruce are not what you’d expect… This is all about the folks in the hobby. As for the naysayers down the list. You just don’t get it…

This a great podcast for a modeler. Love the love interviews great job guys and can’t want to listen to the next episode. Great job Harz

Love every podcast put out by this crew. The podcast is not about the latest and greatest new model, or about how to add a decoder, or building kits! It is about the people in the industry, and those of us that model. They bring you stories about why Jason and Rapido build what they do, people who innovate in the hobby like Dave Abeles, or just people enjoying the hobby. Feels like hanging at the club or model shop talking to friends.

Clear and audio content was great! Awesome Job! I enjoyed it! 👍🏻

I have been a fan (merely mortal, not super) for several years now. I appreciate your discussions and especially the banter. I work in the Train Department of the largest Hobbytown on the planet (in Kennesaw, Ga, naturally), and I think Lionel’s right about the coming explosion. I hope Goo-Gone will help us to clean up, afterwards! Unfortunately, as I work in a hobby store, I don’t make enough to be a patron, and I know I’m missing out, but that’s how it goes. I love you guys, but you can’t have my beer. Sorry, I mean, you can’t have my beer, eh? Is that right?

Is this a model railroad podcast? A useless series of questions such as, what condiment do you like on your hotdog?, etc. makes this podcast useless for the model railroading community not to mention entirely too much rambling about nothing related to the hobby. I’ve tried to listen several times over the years but it’s just not worth the time to listen to babbling and bad jokes and jabs. Sorry Lionel...I need to go vacuum now.

Lionel, Jason: Thank you so much for bringing to light the miserable underworld of baseless critique in the model train world. I’m in the manufacturing industry (not model railroading) and it seems like the vocal Minority does get the most attention to the point of driving away hobbyist (current or new). I wish I could bottle up this episode and post it on every model train forum for everyone to hear. In the end, I don’t expect much to change, but it sure is nice to hear the manufactures problems seem to be universal. Keep up the good work Lionel. Sincerely: Charlie Tucek (Chicago, Illinois)

Having the opportunity to sit down and talk with Mike “The Spoon” Ostertag, Lionel & Bruce, they didn’t disappoint. I’ve never laughed so hard, while talking about railroads, modeling and life. This pod is without question a good listen, especially the episode with William Sampson. They’re all solid, but I might be biased towards the Sampson interview.

This is a very entertaining program for any type of mode railroad enthusiast. The hosts and guests keep things light, and follow the aptly titled podcast name to a t. There is more to the hobby than just rails and plastic parts. Lionel continues to create ear candy for this great hobby.

I’ve always enjoyed Lionel’s writing for MR, and his approach to the hobby. This podcast is indeed a modelers program with the insight provided.

Love the show, keep them coming everyone!

Jim, Bruce and Lionel (aka Steve), do a wonderful job! They interview some very interesting folks in the hobby. If you're a model railroader you MUST listen. They are great!

This is one of the most informative and entertaining model train podcasts. The cast makes it special.

What a great model railroad Podcast. It is like listening to friends talking at the bar after a train show. Also very funny, even if they are not trying to be funny...

A great listen for a model railroader.

The AML podcasts, in all fascets, are entertaining and fun to listen to. The guys are funny, the topics and guests are interesting. This is perfect traveling, modleing time listening, or just because.

This is a super fun podcast more about model railroaders then about model trains. The concept is different and well worth listening to. It is a "long distance relationship" with your closest railroad friends.

Lionel, Jim and Bruce bring a very entertaining discussion of model railroading with each episode. A great way to learn about what others in the hobby are doing and find out a little about the people behind the models. A must listen!

Great podcast about, not just model railroading, but also the life of the model railroader. Stay informed on all the latest in model railroading and stay amused with all the humor that goes along with it. No boring rivet counting here!

I love a good train podcast, that’s a fact. This is even more than just a great model railroad podcast. These folks explore the modeler’s life - from childhood to current day, and really find out who the people are behind the trains. We have some highly interesting folks in this hobby. It’s a fun podcast and the guys seem to have a lot of fun doing it! Conversational and interesting!

Lionel Strang and Jim Rindt make a great team as they focus on the people in the hobby. Great stuff. I'm just not sure which one is Gracie ..

A great listen for the commute home from work, or a good companion while I'm working in my model train room. A ModelersLife is a wonder addition to my podcast repertoire. The hosts are funny and informative (about what, I'm not sure). The guest's stories are entertaining. Great show Lionel and Jim.

It’s Inconceivable that such an informative show can also be such good, clean, wholesome FUN! A peek into the lives and personalities of members of the Model Railroading community drawn out by surprisingly talented and witty interview hosts Lionel Strang and Jim Rindt. Showcases the wide range of backgrounds, talents, and interests of our fellow modelers and friends. An altogether fascinating vicarious thrill for Model Rail Radio junkies like me.

Lionel and Jim, the Huntley and Brinkley, the Laurel and Hardy, the Abbott and Costello of the Model Railroad Podcast world. Informative and funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent show - both informative and entertaining. I highly recommend it.

Lionel & Jim, you have started something that many listeners to Model Rail Radio have been waiting for, background and insight into the wonderful people on the show. . Great interview with Tom Barbalet. I can't wait to hear more as you interview other model railroaders.

Great co-hosts that work well together and in interesting concept. Off to a good start.

Great first episode. Off-the-cuff, no-BS discussions, great to listen to. Looking forward to more episodes.
