Operating the Head of the Rake: GN Cascade Division
Learn about the operations of Lee Marsh’s Great Northern layout, which is based in Everett and the Cascade Mountains in western Washington State as of 1951. We tour the layout from the perspective of operations and discuss them in depth. We previously featured the layout in the September 2024 issue with a different article focusing on the planning, construction, and scenery of the pike. Both features include separate interviews with Lee at the layout.
Modeling and Integrating Rocks on Your Layout
This article discusses several different types of rocks you can model for your layout and ways to integrate them into your scenery to look realistic.
Scratch-Building Suburban Telephone Poles
Scratch-build a telephone pole with us. These poles would make a great addition to an urban scene or along a highway (they are for non-railroad power). We share each step to make the poles along with photos. The sample poles are made in HO scale.
