Informal poll about future blog post topics
Posted by Rene Schweitzer on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 10:43 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm considering writing about these topics for the blog, and wondered what your interest would be. Photos (of course!) would accompany these topics. Thoughts? Thumbs up or down?

A look inside our in-house photo studio

A look inside our workshop

Photos of the company layout, the Milwaukee Racine & Troy (MR&T,  an HO scale layout)

Photos/stories about some of the railroad art on the walls inside Kalmbach's building

I agree, a grand tour of the fascilities would be fun.  One suggestion?  How about floating the idea of blog entries (or better yet feature articles) about staff members' personal layouts?

Well, that is good to hear. The layout is impressive and massive despite being the "wrong" scale. LOL

You asked--I delivered! A look inside the workshop is now live on the blog. And who says no work gets done just before a holiday weekend? Big Smile
