We’ve all seen the shelves of structures or boxes of cars at train shows – but can we make those cheap plastic models into something we’d like to have on our layout? This will review how to take those cheap train show finds and make a great model out of them.
About the Presenter
Ray Persing, MMR, is a life-long model railroader having gotten the bug at his dad’s elbow when he was a lad of 3. Sixty years (or so) on, he’s built three large HO scale layouts and is now working on his fourth, having recently moved into his forever home. While his home layout is a 1950s era Appalachian coal-hauler, he also models Maine 2-foot gauge as a member of the Great Lakes HOn30 Module Group. He earned his MMR in 2025, 25 years after obtaining his first Achievement Program Certificate. He’s the current NMRA National Achievement Program Manager, a life-long Cincinnati Reds fan, and lives in the greater Cincinnati area with his wife Gretchen. He’ll soon be retiring after a 43 year career with the Department of Defense.
