January 2023 Class III Railroad Shows off N Scale’s Potential: Tenino Western Railroad

Class III Railroad Shows off N Scale’s Potential: Tenino Western Railroad
Settle into your comfortable chair and get ready for a treat as you peruse this month’s layout tour of Tyler Whitcomb’s Tenino Western Railroad. The detail Tyler has managed to create on his pike might trick you into thinking it’s a larger scale, but this gorgeous railroad is N scale. The TWRR is based in the 1980s-90s in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. Born as a logging railroad, the short line has since expanded its horizons a bit. You’ll learn Tyler’s fictional backstory of the railroad, get to see many full-page photos and a map of the track plan, and watch a video interview with Tyler onsite. This is one tour you don’t want to miss!
