This month, Mike Budde explains in his own words why and
how he built this fantastic model of an autorack, complete
with cars fresh from the GM factory in Kansas (3-4). It took
Mike 30 years to build this model little by little, finally finish-
ing it in 2010. The flat is wood, the rack is styrene, and the cars
are resin kits and plastic kits modified to match the prototypes
look fresh out of the plant and ready for showroom prep.
The sincerity that Mike conveys while telling his story on video
really brings home the fact that some models witness one's life
while being constructed over time. It’s a really good interview.
