Land, Lots of Land
Bringing a small plot of layout land to life presents some neat challenges! This excellent packing house scene makes great use of the space on a module, built by Russ George and Russ Morrison for the Miami Valley Modular Railway.

Growing Up
Like the prototypes, many of our factories have to fit a compact space, and the answer is to build up instead of out. Taller buildings can also double as a view block to make the layout seem much larger. This big electric arc furnace on the Milwaukee Operators Organization modular layout does both very nicely!

Modeling magic
It’s amazing to see bare plaster transformed into a miniature tree-covered hillside as in this latest project from the North Conway Model RR Club in Conway, NH. Click on the arrows to see more of the scene. You can see more of the club’s layout by following @ncmodelrrclub.

What You See
There's a lot to like in every modeling era, and part of the fun is modeling what we see, either in period photos or the present day. With big cars and plenty of colorful equipment, Adam Henry shares a look at his contemporary operations that includes models based on actual photos.
