March 2025 Northern Pacific Railway on Three HO Scale Layouts

Northern Pacific Railway on Three HO Scale Layouts
Tour three different HO scale layouts running the Northern Pacific Railway. Steven Shores, Kirk Thompson, and Jeff Nichols all model the NP in different locations and eras. You’ll see the railroad’s Stampede Pass in the Cascades, Mullan Pass in the Rockies, and the NP at work in western Washington’s cities. Any fan of the Northern Pacific will enjoy this feature and the great variety of motive power at work across the three pikes.
