Description
Contents: Special Features – Perspective: Get Your Modeling Kicks (Historic Route 66 parallels the old Santa Fe mainline through Southern California, Arizona and on to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Along the way can be found a collection of quirky buildings and roadside attractions that are ripe for modeling.), A Last Visit to Coon Creek Lumber (Set in the Cascades, Lou Ullian’s beautiful On3 Coon Creek Lumber Company was a true builder’s layout that stood as a visual history of logging in steam days.), Oh #@*%, a Flat (A lot of thought went into this little scene and it paid off.) Modeling – Build a Bucket Coal Loader (This partially scratch built HO scale model is based on the simple wooden coal loader used by Maine’s Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad. Coal-filled wooden buckets were hoisted up and then emptied into the tender.), Adding Trucks to the Layout (With just a bit of work and some imagination, you can take some ready-to-run Classic Metal Works model trucks and turn them into one-of-a-kind eye-catching models that will improve any scene on your layout.), Modeling Secondhand Parlor Cars for the LIRR (In the 1960’s the Long Island Rail Road operated a fleet of ex-Pullman Heavyweight parlor cars in summer service to the Hamptons and Montauk. Walther’s HO scale Pullman 28-1 parlor car is a great starting point for modeling this unique service.), Adding Details and Sound to Southern Pacific’s FP7’s (Adding sound and extra details to Athearn’s HO scale FP7 improves an already beautiful model.), Scratch builder’s Corner: Mold Making and Casting (Casting can come in handy when you need to make a number of identical parts.), RMC/Dremel Kit bashing Award: Modeling a B&O P-31a TOFC Flat Car (A pair of Athearn HO scale flat cars are used to kit bash this model of the Baltimore & Ohio’s first flat car designed to carry highway trailers.)
