Modelers Interchange 07-10-20
With temperatures reaching into the 90s in most parts of the US, it’s a great time to enjoy cooler temperatures in basements or air-conditioned homes and clubs, all while crafting away at one’s layout. Not only has the National Model Railroad Build-Off drawn out a wealth of great modeling posts (click here if you’re not familiar), but others posting on our social media channels have been sharing some great work as well. Just click here and enjoy!

Highway to High Iron
Not all of today's intermodal terminals are enormous operations. Here and there, you'll find some that are really quite compact, that can be adapted for most modern model railroads. Michael Scott built just such a facility, which is now serving his freelanced HO railroad. |
I Call Next!
When viewing the new video posted by @taldelfe of his excellent room-sized layout, we wished we could jump in there behind the controls. Using a wide-angle lens for a panoramic view, he was able to capture two consists winding their way throughout the layout. Great stuff!

Time Travelers
It might not be possible to actually visit the past or future yet, but our layouts can serve as a portal! For now, let your imagination drift back with some 1950s industrial action, built by Edward O'Rourke, who shares this super scene from his vintage layout.
