Modelers Interchange 07-31-20
Fishermen call these the “dog days of summer” because fish bite on nothing under the hot summer sun. Things may be slow at your favorite watering hole, but they sure are busy on model railroading social media. We’ve found five of the most interesting and well-discussed social posts from the last 7 days through our Facebook page and Instagram, shared below.

A Working Farm
When asked what summertime on the farm looks like on modelers' layouts, Tim Whitford posted a picturesque tall frame white farmhouse and a classic red barn. Pigs make for attentive railfans as boxcar loads roll by. |
 Home Away From Home
Another poster, Kathryn Asbahr shared this image of a grain storage bin turned into some sort of a clubhouse sanctuary accompanied by a well-detailed equipment shed. Very well-done!
