July 2020 Magazine
Layouts featured in this month's magazine: Canyon Creek Timber Railway in HO Scale This month we head back to our friend Pete Vassler's Canyon Creek Timber Railway, where he has updated his layout with some new scenes. You'll enjoy Pete's HO scale CCTRwy, a beautiful, freelanced logging railroad based in southwestern Washington State. We share an article about the layout with lots of details on how he built his scenery, how he operates, and some tips from Pete's perspective. You'll see video of the railway in action and lots of photos of this work of art. We have photographed the CCTRwy more than once and show a few updates over the years and things he has added to the layout. Tunnel Usage and Tunnel Portals in Various Scales We share photos of several layouts' tunnels to give you ideas for ways to incorporate them into your layout. The images are from several layouts in HO, S, G and 1:32 scale. The Making of the Canyon Café
Rather than a project this month, we share a behind-the-scenes look at Pete's process as he built the Canyon Café on the CCTRwy. This article is an extension to the layout tour and includes some in-progress photos from when Pete was hard at work on this unique structure. He used several kits as well as some scratch-built parts and many hours to build the café. Ross & Jenny Waters
