Ship it on the Frisco
One look at this expertly-shot Frisco H10-44 by Bob Gallegos will have you wondering what’s real and what’s not. A long day ends on the final stretch home, but the engine’s shop-clean look might just give it away.
Starting from Scratch
From a unique prototype to a what-if model, many builders love the challenge of creating a showpiece for their layouts from scratch. Paul Down currently has 13 N Scale buildings under construction, including these scratch-built homes that also feature a few Grandt Line parts.
A Long Gravel Road
Like a scene from the outskirts of Mayberry, night settles in before the kids finish playing outside. Poster @southern.pacific.lines.n.scale delivers the charm. Wouldn’t you love to just stroll down that lane, wish the neighbors a good evening, and pick an apple from that tree for a late dessert? Paradise found.
New to Old
It doesn't take long for new equipment to look like it's been around for years, especially when it comes to models! This stock HO Kato SD40-2 by Noel Coltrane was weathered to look like it's put in some hard work over the years!
E-asy on the Eyes
Ready to speed the famed “Hiawatha” fleet and UP's Streamliners, Shawn Hoppert shares this view of the day's departures behind sparkling EMD E and F units lined up on his under construction station scene. The hometown favorite is looking fine indeed.
