Notch 6 Episode 114 – Michael and Tom Roder join me to discuss all things related to Gargraves track. A staple in the O gauge hobby for over 75 years, Gargraves track is found on some of the best hi-rail layout in the country. You’ll hear about the humble beginnings of the company all the way through present day. Michael and Tom will also share some valuable tips for using their product.

In this episode Steve Nelson, Owner of Mr. Muffins Trains, stops by to visit. We’ll hear about his early experiences that led to opening a hobby store in a time where colleagues told him what a poor idea it was. We’ll also explore collecting Atlas O wooden reefers, what customer service means in the hobby industry today, and he’ll share some tips he’s learned while building three large O gauge layouts.

GarGraves is THE most under appreciated manufacture in the O3r hobby. I love their product and after using almost 3 cases of it along with a few boxes of  pre bent curves...Zero defects. Made in the USA by hand.....gotta love it!!!!

My other hobby is classic cars too.......whats in your new garage Derrick????

Mine....

I enjoyed your interview with Mike & Tom Roder.

Gargraves Track is a excellent example of cool stuff in our hobby and how the two brothers took over Dad’s company.

Flex track and how it bends is a very interesting process. Along with all the custom machines they designed and made to manufacture the track sections.

Congrats: Gary
