Trackside Model Railroading™ DVD & Magazine

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.
Check out our Blu-ray and DVD tours
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.

Northern Pacific Railway on Three HO Scale Layouts
Tour three different HO scale layouts running the Northern Pacific Railway. Steven Shores, Kirk Thompson, and Jeff Nichols all model the NP in different locations and eras. You'll see the railroad's Stampede Pass in the Cascades, Mullan Pass in the Rockies, and the NP at work in western Washington's cities. Any fan of the Northern Pacific will enjoy this feature and the great variety of motive power at work across the three pikes.
