Proto-Future and the Beginner's Guide to Model Railroading G4

This nontraditional episode gives you three vignettes on Amtrak and the podcast, my layout and its construction, and bicycling infrastructure and car-dependency, as well as helping me catch up on scripts and test out field recording.

This episode covers the different ways of making deciduous and evergreen trees, pouring epoxy water systems, ballasting track, and adding scenic details.

This episode recounts impressionable articles, near-future Amtrak routes, and how I went from modeling the 1890s On30 and choosing a diesel locomotive just for fun to completely abandoning the On30 layout and starting over to make a new layout based on a concept for regional transportation in a state which I've never lived in and barely visited.

After thousands of days into BGT, we finally get to start making scenery!
