Rick Rideout’s Rix Products Inc
Rick RideoutDescription
Rideout’s love for modeling began the very first time he saw a train set as a child. Some of the first dates with his wife as a teenager brought them to watch trains and work on his model railroad. To Rideout, modeling is a life-long commitment and a job. His family accepts working on his layout as part of his profession because Rix Products make money. Although the goal of many modelers is to be able to work on their model full time, Rideout emphasizes that it can be a hard industry to be in. Due to its small size, it is never going to provide a full time modeler with a true living. That being said, the benefits have far outweighed the burdens for Rideout. The hobby offers many areas to work in and learn from such as woodworking, electrics, computer interfacing, home design, and more. For Rideout, modeling is exciting from the word go, and has never felt like just a job to him.
