Switching the Katy’s Sherman Branch
Tour a small Missouri-Kansas-Texas layout built by Greg Maxwell. The switching layout is based in Sherman, Texas in the mid-1950s. This layout is a great example of what you can build in a small space. In this feature, we share an article about the layout’s design, construction, operations, and scenery. This feature includes a video. You’ll enjoy getting to see what Greg built!
Modeling Unique Scenes in HO Scale
This feature shares examples of well-executed scenery from Gerry Yurkoski’s former CP Rail layout. The freelanced railroad was HO scale. Hopefully the unusual scenes will inspire you to think creatively about what you could add to your own layout.
Weathering with Oil Pastels
This step-by-step project shows you how to add rust and weathering to your models. The examples include photos, showing you the steps to add rust on an HO scale car and fully weather an N scale car. The project is simple and can be completed in any scale.
