So it\u2019s no wonder that when Tom Holly came along with a wealth of knowledge from his father and grandfather, the next step seemed only natural.&amp;nbsp; Don\u2019t think it\u2019s unreasonable for us to assume that Tom didn\u2019t choose trains, trains chose Tom. In model railroading this kind of lineage is actually a big deal because by the time the third generation gets around the building a layout, they\u2019re able to call on a wealth of knowledge that not many modelers have access to. This is a great podcast and one we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll enjoy.
