2010 NMRA PNR Convention - Interview with Bob Rorabaugh

Bob Rorabaugh uses model trains as a tool to help build relationships between fathers and their children.  Bob entered his first NMRA diorama contest at the 2010 PNR Cascadian International Convention with an extremely low cost diorama built mostly from salvaged materials showing you don't need a $400 craftsman structure kit to produce a contest entry. Good luck Bob!
