Trackside Model Railroading is the magazine for model railroad enthusiasts who want an in-depth view of layouts. We cover two layouts each month, including all fine scales. Our railfanning style includes video of the trains running on the layouts as well as an article and many photographs of each layout we share.

We offer some of the layouts we feature on Blu-ray & DVD. The videos are usually 80-120 minutes and have much more video of the layouts and often bonus features that are not in the magazine.

Trackside Model Railroading's Current Issue

Layouts featured in this month's magazine:

Chesapeake & Ohio Railroading in the Allegheny Mountains in HO Scale
Come explore Joe Green's HO scale Chesapeake & Ohio Ryder Gap Subdivision with us! You'll learn about the planning and construction of his layout and railfan trains on the 30 x 31-foot pike. The layout is based in the spring of 1974 in Virginia and West Virginia. This is the first of a two-part layout tour, as next month we'll delve into operations on the layout. Both features include many photos of the layout and a layout diagram. You'll love seeing Joe's freelanced prototype modeling. Perhaps you'll recognize a few places, as many of the towns and structures closely follow prototypical places, but they've been relocated for the model. A railfanning video at the layout is also included in this issue.

Fine Scale Modeling of Oregon Waterfronts in HO Scale
Stan Schmidt modeled a freelanced Southern Pacific layout based in Oregon. We focus on his meticulously built structures and boats in Oregon's waterways in this feature.
