April 2023 Coast to Cascades: N Scale Short Line Works Western Washington

Coast to Cascades: N Scale Short Line Works Western Washington
Tour Walt and Nancy Huston’s freelanced Aberdeen, Tacoma & Spanaway Forrest Railroad (AT&SF). This short line connects the Pacific Coast with inland cities. Its era hops between 1963, 1970, and the present day. From the mountainous cliffs of the Cascades to the cityscapes to the sandstone bluffs on the coast, you’ll love the scenery on this pike. This feature includes an interview with Walt at the layout. Come explore the N scale AT&SF with us!

Creating Successful Water Scenes in Any Scale
In N, HO, and S scale, we share some creative waterways as built by several modelers. We share what materials they chose to use and some of their modeling techniques to give you ideas for how to model your own water scenes.

Installing Sub-Roadbed
We show you how to install sub-roadbed over your benchwork. This project is suitable for modelers who are comfortable with the use of power tools.
