Well, you\u2019d be wrong, Jon has travelled such an interesting road to where he is today, Athearn barely came up. Once we discovered his Dad owned \u201cThe Hobby Depot,\u201d a small, well-known model train shop in  Monroe, Wisconsin, we wanted to know more!! Often times in life the journey is more interesting than the destination as you\u2019re about to find out with our next guest. Besides being a life-long model railroader Jon is also an accomplished musician, a one-time kayak guide off the shores of Lake Superior and prize-winning modeler. So sit back with a bowl of shredded fine wooden paddles, a tall cool glass of warm lake water and enjoy!!
