We had a great time at the National Train Show!

We're back from the National Train Show in Chattanooga and we certainly had a great time. Two highlights for the Artisan Rail Media team - We were really excited to announce our second book, Modeling Civil War Railroads by Bernard Kempinski, and the other (better!) half of the Artisan Rail team took first place in the People's Choice Awad in the Arts and Crafts category with her quilt "Hometown Crossing." That makes one NMRA prize winner in the family, and it isn't me ... !!!
About Bernie's book - it will be 120 pages, with the same photo reproduction and print quality you've come to expect based on Modeling Autumn Scenery.
Bernie is putting the final touches on the manuscript and photography, and we are on track for a November 2026 release. Check this blog, my Southern New England Railway Facebook page, or the artisanrailmedia.com website to get your order in early.
Thanks again for supporting independent model railroad publishing, and stay tuned! - Marty and Christine McGuirk, artisanrailmedia.
