1970s Western Washington Railroading
Tour the Chehalis Pacific Railroad, a museum layout featuring several 1970s railroads at work in western Washington: the Milwaukee Road, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific (in pre-merger paint), Burlington Northern, and Weyerhaeuser-owned railroads. The HO scale layout was built by the Lewis County Model Railroad Club in the Lewis County Historical Museum. This feature includes many photos of the layout, a video, and an article about the layout's construction, scenery, and operations.

Collaborative Modular Layout
This feature showcases an HO scale modular layout by the former INSHOME club and discusses modular layout options.

Build an N Scale Shoreline
In this project, we create a shoreline. The sample scene is in N scale. This project can be completed solo or alongside the water project shown in the November 2024 issue.
