Joe Fugate
Joe Fugate has been an avid model railroader since getting his first train set at age 8. From 1994-1997 he served as editor of the Layout Design Journal, the official publication of NMRA’s Layout Design Special Interest Group. Joe produced videos for Kalmbach under contract from 2005-2007, but later resigned to establish MRH Media and start Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine in 2009. His HO scale Siskiyou Line layout, a pioneering mushroom-style configuration, was presented in depth in the January and February 1997 issues of Model Railroader magazine. Joe received the NMRA Distinguished Service Award in 2022.
