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.
Trackside Model Railroading's Current Issue
Transition Era Katy and Texas & Pacific Work the North Texas in HO Scale
Enjoy many photos of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (M-K-T) and the Texas & Pacific (T&P) at work on Clint Brown's freelanced Fort Worth & Great Northern. The HO scale layout is based in the 1950s, so you'll see both steam and diesel trains on this urban layout. In the article, you'll learn about the prototypical operations of several Texas railroads in north Texas and how Clint has incorporated their history into the layout's design. The feature includes a railfanning video at the layout.
Union Pacific in the Columbia River Gorge in N Scale
The Union Pacific works an N scale modular layout by the Columbia River N Scale Club. You'll enjoy Columbia River Gorge scenery and see UP trains on the layout.
Make a Custom Tarp
We provide a PDF to print out your own tarp (so you don't have to determine the color) and steps to shape it over an object so that it's removable. The example is a vehicle and is in HO scale, but you can complete the project covering any item and cut the tarp to fit another scale. A photo is included with each step for clarity.
