How Do You Overcome Modeler's Inertia and Get Started? Dan's Backshop June 2024

This time Dan introduces Mark Wiens, who has been nice enough to loan a bunch of models to review. Dan and Nichole recently met Mark for lunch, and afterwards traded trains in the parking lot.

In the course of their conversation, they talked about inertia and how to get started on a project. Dan talks more about that in this video. Breaking down a complex project into simpler steps, building confidence with a simpler project, and focusing on improving skills are all ways to help get the ball rolling.

Dan also talks about positivity in the model railroading community, and the benefits of making and mentoring.

This episode's models include an HO scale Union Pacific SD9043MAC, a Yreka Western Alco switcher, a Conrail SD402, a Southern Pacific SW1200, and more!

Dan also shows how he installed DCC, sound, and a capacitor into his N scale North Coast Bachmann 280. This engine runs great now, sounds great, and almost never stalls!

If you want to talk trains or just hang out, be sure to check out this episode!
