Less Is More with Scott Thornton
About this episode
Going smaller by going bigger. That's the next chapter in the modeling story of our guest Scott Thornton. Scott tells us how he is tranisitioning to a larger scale railroad that's forcing him to think smaller when it comes to a track plan, and how this new prototype based freelance railroad will set him free and allow the creativity he enjoys.
