Description
Contents: Special Features – Perspective: Hoist away, matey (When the Staten Island Railroad took delivery of its new Brookville Equipment locomotives, they had to be barged across the Arthur Kill waterway and then trucked to their new home at the railroad’s Clifton Shops. For anyone lucky enough to witness the move, it was quite a show.), Modeling on a Budget – Lake Erie Aggregate (Inspired by a small layout that appeared in RMC 50 years ago this month, this newly constructed 24″ x 48″ On30 micro-layout proves you don’t need a lot of room or money to build a model railroad, and you don’t need a large layout to have plenty of fun in the hobby.), How I Operate My State Belt Railroad (After studying the rather unique operations of the State Belt Railroad – a California switching line that served San Francisco’s Emgarcadero harbor front – the author set out to devise a similar operating scenario for his own HO scale State Belt layout.) Modeling – Shallow-relief Structures (The use of shallow relief buildings can help in creating that “heavily urbanized” look without taking up a lot of space and can turn a small area into one that appears much larger.), RMC/Dremel Kit bashing Award: Sasquatch, a Homebuilt Electric Railcar (Combining parts from a Model Die Casting sleeper and combine to make a freelanced HO scale electric railcar has earned Robert Boyd this month’s Kit bash award.), Doing it with Mirrors (A well-placed mirror can add a sense of depth to a layout scene and make the scene appear deeper than it actually is.), Building a Pile Bent Trestle (This scratch built, HO scale wooden trestle is based on a Soo Line bridge that is located in Waupaca, Wisconsin.), Scratch builder’s Corner: Color Revisited 9Before finishing a model, it is important to take into consideration the material being painted or stained, the method that will be used, and the lighting it will be seen under.), Essential Freight Cars: AC&F Type 11 Tank Cars (Beginning in 1911, American Car & Foundry turned out thousands of these cars. An accurate HO scale model of an 8,000 gallon capacity car can be kit bashed using the Funaro & Camerlengo resin kit.)
