Description
Contents: Special Features – Perspective: Test trains (New equipment is often evaluated and tested by running special trains to monitor their performance.), The Central Jersey S Scalers’ modular layout (A layout that changes size and shape just about every time its operated can prove to be very interesting, which is just what these S scalers enjoy.), Art Daehler’s modular adventure (Modular railroading can feature all the operating possibilities found on large, permanent layouts.), The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western’s Sussex Branch (Milk trains, rural passenger service, a wide variety of steam power, and diesels from at least three different builders all combined to make this branch through RMC’s hometown popular among railfans. Join us as we take a look at the Sussex branch’s history and present some ideas on modeling it.) Modeling – Carpak: Frisco’s rebuilt USRA gondolas (Between 1919 and 1930, the Frisco purchased over 5,000 40-foot USRA composite gondolas. Many of these were later rebuilt in different configurations. We’ll look at these cars and how they can be modeled.), N scale niche: Evolution of a module (While it is designed to be compatible with NTrak modules, this module also offers an operating train on a lower level for younger viewers to watch.), RMC/Dremel Kit bashing Award: Two cuts and a hack (Here is a simple kit bash that produced nice results.), Build a working HOn30″ Model T railcar (With a little ingenuity it is possible to power an HO Model T for your railroad’s superintendent to use on his next inspection trip.), Airbrushing made easy (Nothing beats an airbrush for applying a good looking finish to a model and even if you’ve never used one, learning the basics is easy.) Prototype – DW&P/CN 52-foot bulkhead flat (Originally built in 1972 for the Canadian National and lettered for subsidiary DW&P, cars of this type can be found on the CN, BC Rail and the Ontario National.)
