Layout Tour with MoPac Mike
Poster Mike Carr (@mopacmike) has regularly shared close-up images of his superdetailed models and realistic scenes on our social media pages. In this post he provides an overall view of his multi-room model railroad. Click on the white arrows to take a tour of his exceptional layout that celebrates the Missouri Pacific, Frisco and Katy railroads.
Georgia Pacific
on my Mind
In their pursuit of providing interesting places for their trains to go, model railroaders often become accomplished architectural and industrial modelers. An excellent case in point is this sprawling Georgia-Pacific Paper Mill complex built by Michael Greifenstein.
Keep ‘em Separated
Highway Departments, landscapers, construction companies, and other industries often use cinder-block bays to sort and store different types of sand, aggregates, and other bulk material. Click on the white arrows to see how poster @ns_csx_mytownmodeler painted, weathered and detailed this Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Bulk Material Storage kit.
Night stop on the Northeast Corridor
Travelers hustle to get aboard the Amtrak Acela before the modern streamliner has to speed off to the next stop along its Northeast Corridor route that runs from Boston to Washington, D.C. Modeler John C-Fly Hinson did a marvelous job modeling a big city passenger station that includes a scratchbuilt platform.
A DIY Log Cabin
A model builder is always on the lookout for another project. For Jeremy Fleming that spark of inspiration came from inside the kitchen cabinet. He built this rustic N scale cabin from a pack of wooden toothpicks.
