Heavy Electrics Work New York and New England in S Scale
You'll enjoy this month's tour of Dick Karnes' S scale New York, Westchester & Boston Railway. The layout is a what-if version of the railroad operating from 1925-1955. Other railroads have trackage rights on the layout as well. You'll get to see heavy electrics at work on the layout, including the New Haven's EP-5s. This feature includes a video at the layout.

Adding a Special Touch to Your Layout
Examples of specialized scenes you can model on your layout, incorporating other hobbies and interests into your model railroading.

Modifying and Weathering Grain Cars
In this project, we modify roof hatches on grain cars and add weathering to make them unique. The example is in HO scale and includes photographs of each step.
