Since our launch in early 2017, we have had a pretty small crew. Mainly consisted of Cale Leiphart, Jim Catagnus (our webmaster), Elroy Davis (our LAN Ambassador), and myself, the only others we’ve had on our team have been occasional guest writers, many of whom have had to answer calls from their non-hobby lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We quietly added raised (Gerbrand) to our team a while ago, and he has since taken charge of writing excellent articles, spearheading our OcTRAINber challenge, and representing our website in the Netherlands. More recently, we have also added Enrico Lussi, who has quickly become a frequent contributor. We’re glad to have our two Netherlanders on our team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since about the middle of 2019, we have been working to bring a few more people on board, primarily in the United States. After some discussion, back and forth, and dropped conversation, we are happy to officially announce our newest team members: Aaron Burnett, Matt Csenge, and Chris Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three individuals are known and talented builders and passionate hobbyists. The rest of us are excited to have each of them on board to both write articles and join in the model-making side of Brick Model Railroader. Cale, Elroy, Gerbrand, Enrico, and myself are all excited to have some new team members aboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
