Interview with Craig Fuller CEO of Firecrown Media
Craig Fuller is the founder and CEO of Firecrown, the new owner of Trains, Model Railroader,Classic Trains, Classic Toy Trains, and Garden Railways and Fine Scale Modeller
Firecrown was founded in 2021 as a platform to create commerce out of enthusiast audiences. Firecrown makes significant investments in the brands it acquires to deliver high-quality content and experiences to its audiences.
Firecrown also owns FLYING, Yachting, Boating, Astronomy, and dozens of other brands. Prior to founding Firerown, Fuller was the founder and CEO of FreightWaves, often called the “Bloomberg of freight”, a platform which provides news and high-frequency data serving the global supply chain industry. Prior to that, Fuller spent 9 years as the CEO of Transcard, a leading fintech platform and was the founder of Xpress Direct, the on-demand logistics division of US Xpress.
He holds a BBA from Baylor University and is a private pilot. He lives with his wife and 5 kids in Chattanooga, TN.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - A bit more work on the Yamato, but it has been a ‘real life’ 2 weeks with too many other things going on.
I did take advantage of the sale at Broughdales.
Geoff - a little more work on the Goblin, but mostly real-life chores and getting the place ready for summer.
Terry - the P-47H is languishing a bit, I have been more enthusiastic about the Yamato Dreadnaughts and Crusher Joe Harpy. Painting moving along really nicely on those, now the Dreadnaughts move into masking preparing for more painting. Used the complimentary color priming at Anthony’s suggestion on the Mars pattern Dreadnaught.
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart - Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results by Shane Parrish and D-Day by Martin Gilbert.
Geoff - The Dambusters Raid by John Sweetman, and The Guns of Normandy by George Blackburn
Terry - Getting near the end of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Shards of Earth - I’ll read the rest of the series in sequence. His storytelling is as good as ever, with believable characters, pretty much all of whom have a compelling point of view. Also started the Hellboy Omnibuses (Omnibi?). I actually think I haven’t read these before, somehow. Maybe excerpts?
***************************************
SPONSOR AD #2
***************************************
THINGS WE’VE SEEN
Facebook group for ICM B-26. Of course, I can’t find it now, but someone is backdating one to a B-26B IIRC. Plenty of people making corrections, modifications, etc.
Godzilla Minus One. On Netflix now.
Vince Hoffman is nearly finished with a Tamiya 1:16 Tamiya M1A2 radio-controlled tank. If he posts videos, I’ll share them - and maybe we get him on the show.
