Jim Wiggin and the Granite State Industrial

It's nice to know that people in the model railroading industry are modelers just like us, and that's exactly what we do on this episode of Around The Layout. Jim Wiggin, Associate Brand Manager for Athearn, takes us back to his childhood in central New Hampshire and tells us how an interaction with a Boston & Maine employee boosted his desire to model the prototype. We also learn the influence a local hobby shop owner had, leading him on the path where his hobbies became his profession. Jim tells us about his role at Athearn and the contributions he's making to Athern's content on YouTube.
