So, you\u2018re asking yourself, how does a guy from Austin, Texas end up modeling the Port of New York or more specifically the Hoboken Shore Railroad?? The answer is simple\u2026 Bananas, plus the desire for something different offering a lifetime of research and modeling. Long before modern day railroading there were so many railroads running into New York with lots of ports and barges etc., it seemed like a natural for our next guest to model.

But that\u2019s not all, this layout uses the CVP Products \u201cAirwire\u201d to control the trains, it\u2019s DCC but there is no power to the track. Each locomotive has a receiver and a battery. There is no wiring on the layout at all. But wait, there\u2019s more\u2026 Riley is also the NMRA\u2019s publisher and played a major role in getting the magazine to its digital format. This a great episode and one that we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll enjoy!!
