Stars and Stripes Forever
Old Glory flies proudly above this charming homestead on the HO scale model railroad built by Mountain Goat Models. Some of his superdetailed structures, including the house above, feature interior and exterior lighting.
On the Waterfront
It’s a busy day at the Gotham Piers. While the traveling crane lifts containers onto rail cars, local fisherman haul in quite the catch of their own. Follow @bkderailed to see more of this scene, which is also an entry in this year’s National Model Railroad Build Off!
That ‘70s Show
A classic muscle car waits at the crossing in Bloomsbury, N.J., as a Conrail NW2 switcher, freshly painted in Big Blue livery, tows a Reading caboose down the line. Check out more scenes along the Lehigh & Keystone Valley Model Railroad Museum layout by following @lvkvmrrm.
Inside and Out
Dunn Lumber is one of the oldest businesses still in operation in Renton, Wash. Poster @rgwrail modeled this signature structure on his HO scale Rainer Great Western. Click on the white arrows to see more interior and exterior views of the model and the prototype.
Haulin’ logs
along the Rock
An SD40-2 leads a cut of lumber flatcars on the Rock Island main on Bud Hansen’s layout. Bud modeled the water with toilet paper and white glue to create the wavy surface, followed by paint and gloss medium.
