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
Modeling High-Lead Logging with a Spar Pole
This feature explores the history of the spar pole in logging and ways that it can be modeled to make your layout more interesting. Examples are shown from multiple layouts modeling spar poles, as well as with historical photos.
Slow Orders and Defects in Operations
Make your operations more interesting by randomizing different types of defects and slow orders. We give examples of defects you can add to keep your crew on its toes.
Scratch-Build Wire Trees
Scratch-build your own trees using wire. This project is completed in HO scale but can be applied to other scales. We share each step in detail with a photograph to illustrate it.
