Model Railroad Layouts in November 2023 Trackside MR Digital Download
The History and Phases of Amtrak Modeled
Come explore Amtrak with Trackside! Our main feature is an article about Amtrak, including its history, motive power, and paint schemes. We share prototype photos plus photos from multiple layouts showing Amtrak modeled during different eras. We also include an interview with Mike McGinley, a retired railroad civil engineer. He shares some personal insights about Amtrak and some modeling points. Mike has modeled Amtrak in different eras on his HO scale Southwestern Pacific and we share photos and videos of his modeling in the feature.
