Modelers Interchange 07-17-20
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!

From Stored to Restored!
A lot of model railroads have made a big comeback over the past few weeks! After 20 years, Jefferson Palumbo turned his N Scale layout completely around and made a lot of improvements along the way. |
True Grime
Trailers re-purposed in late-life for alternative functions often find themselves in dire need of some TLC. This well-weathered example posted by @heeltopmusic exemplifies just that, with layers of colors and wash used to achieve a realistic grime.

A Sense of Place
The way the light reflects off the pavement and the equipment stands ready for use lends a feeling of reality to @brandon_lepley’s interpretation of the Pennsy locomotive shops in Renovo. Keep up the good work!

Great for Freight
While most of passenger SDP45s ended up in freight service, a few roads opted for the pure freight versioning dubbed the SDF45. Michael Scott shares this view of one in action on the Montana Rail Link. |
