Interurban Era is a channel that weaves together learning about history using digital and analog scale models. I specialize in 20th century industrial history but branch out across the sciences, culture and much more.

The Joy of Kitbashing - A Scale Modeling Series

Follow along as I put together, paint, letter and weather scale models to make them look real. Often informed by extensive research these models, usually railroad models, you'll learn about why the real equipment exists.

Layout Construction Series

I'm building multiple model railroads for myself & clients in the region that I live. Follow along as we build a variety of different layouts, exploring new construction techniques and enjoying the process of bringing an empty spare room into a gorgeous miniature world.

PRESIDIO BAY - A Cities Skylines series.
It is currently in a pre-production phase for the rest of the first series. A lot of prep is needed before the next part debuts.

POSTPONED: LIVESTREAM Join me (later this fall) to learn how to solder, suggest things for me to solder, or just spend time hanging out and talking model trains! I'll cover a number of different soldering stations, maintenance and best practices. It'll also be a two-way street. IF you know some cool soldering tips, share them in superchat and I'll test them out live.

One recurring thing I hear with my friends and followers is that a lot of people haven't learned how to solder yet, or might have poor equipment or habits that lead to disappointing results. Would you be interested in a livestream where I solder a bunch of different things and answer questions live?

Accessibility improvement: I went through an transcribed the entire BLI mystery box video BY HAND so that if you have a need for closed captioning, you can read accurate transcriptions featuring accurate terminology and phrasing. I noticed how very far off the YT auto CC was for this video in particular, so take the time to watch it with CC enabled, I threw in a few corrections to what I said and an easter egg or two as well. To all of my viewers of all abilities, thanks for tuning in to this video and making it one of my most popular in recent memory! Cheers!
