November 2024 Modeling Features of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad

Modeling Features of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad
This article discusses the railroad’s history and some of the features along the route that can be modeled. It looks at four separate RGS layouts in Sn3 and On3: you’ll see photos from Sam Furukawa, Bill Busacca, and Dave Woodrell’s S scale layouts and Jim Reardon’s O scale layout. We also share prototype photos of the railroad and the area. Any fan of the RGS will enjoy this look at the railroad.

Modeling Open Structures to Show Interior Details
This article looks at examples of structures modeled intentionally open in order to show the details inside. In particular, it looks at mining and logging-related industrial scenes.

Create a Choppy Water Scene
In this project, we create a water scene with waves without using resin. The sample scene is in N scale.
