Contents: Special Features – Perspective: Donkey Engines (These steam powered beasts helped to make large scale logging operations possible); Evolution Of An Operational Railroad (Join us for a visit to the Oregon, Washington, Navigation & Railway Company. This freelanced N scale layout is patterned after a branch of the Union Pacific and the emphasis is on prototypical operations) Modeling – Modeling A Lehigh Valley Mill Gondola (With a few cuts and the addition of new ends and a new center sill, an Accurail gondola becomes a credible stand-in for one of the Lehigh Valley’s 50-foot mill gons. There is also a great looking steel plate load that goes with the model. Check it out); The Scenery Clinic: Part X: Hiding Feeder Wires (After a brief hiatus The Scenery Clinic returns with a new project. This time we’re building an On30 diorama and our subject is hiding those unsightly feeder wires.
