Description
Contents: Special Features – York: Preserving The Past (The National Railway Museum in York, England does a great job of preserving the past and putting it on display for all to see.), IC;s Springfield Division: An Alternate Reality (Here is a different type of layout story. We are going for a ride along with author Stephen Swetland, who in real life is a policeman. So, climb in the patrol car. There’s plenty of railroad action to see.) Modeling – RMC/Dremel Kit bashing Award: Kit bashing a Logging Industry Critter (The prototype for this interesting model was kit bashed. Built from a former Canadian Pacific tender, Crestbrook Timbers No. 003 has to be one of the strangest diesel locomotives ever built.), Modeling Farm Buildings (Inspired by the farm his wife grew up on, the author shows how he modeled a typical upper Midwestern farm. Included are a barn, silo, chicken coop and rows of crops.), Scratch builder’s Corner: Photo-Modeling (A good camera, a decent printer and quality paper can become model making tools.), Building a Grade Setting Gadget (Calculating grades is easy with the help of this simple-to-build tool.), Modeling Those Green M&StL Boxcars (The Minneapolis and St. Louis owned 700 40-foot AAR 1944 design boxcars. It takes just a little bit of kit bashing to model them.), Creating a Paint Scheme for a Freelanced Railroad (A close examination of the prototype railroads that inspired the author’s modeling led to the designing of a very believable freelanced paint scheme for the Port Richmond locomotive fleet.), A Look Ahead: The Upcoming 23rd Annual Sn3 Symposium (Here’s a sneak peek at some of the narrow gauge layouts that will be on the Symposium’s layout tour.), Kit bashing Techniques: Building an NS Exhibition Car (This kit bashing project features a variety of modeling techniques that every modeler should know.)
