Post #28: Formerly Known as the Jim Lincoln Show [December 18, 2010] | By popular request, here is the infamous post-show featuring Jim Lincoln, Tey Roy and Matt Goodman for most of the call plus some intro banter from Ben Rechel, Clark Kooning and Chris Abbott. Due to the threat of legal action from Harvard, CSX, the City of Mansfield MA, Dave Frary, TalkShoe (as you'll hear), Cuba and the Catholic Church a good portion of the post-show had to be cut. To paraphrase Jim Lincoln, the only way to understand the post-show is to hear it live. That being said, here's a rough recording. This is a live internet radio show recorded at 4.30pm Pacific on Saturday every-other-week. For more information, http://www.modelrailradio.com/ | 12/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Some Australian Guy
I stumbled on to this podcast while looking for the Scotty Mason Show. As I am getting back in to the hobby I am hungry for all types of information so I thought I would give Model Rail Radio a try. I will admit when I listened to podcast number one and heard some guy from Australia talking about model trains I wondered what he could possibly have to say that would interest me. However, I downloaded a few more episodes whose titles sounded ineresting and I was hooked. Model Rail Radio is like going to the train store I remember from my teenage years and listening to the guys talk about model railroading. So far I have downloaded and listened to 24 episodes. I used to listen to music on my Ipod now all I listen to is Model Rail Radio. Keep up the great work.
Good listen
I like these podcast. Very knowledgable podcaster and guests
Great show thanks
I spend most of my day looking through a microscope and listen to you while working, really helps the time go by and feel like I am still engaged in the hobby even if I can't be at my own layout. Also like the focus on Canadian and European modeling even if it isn't my prototype area. Thanks and keep it up.
