Season of Mud
The melting snow of late winter has turned this neglected right-of-way into a muddy mess. Michael Cawdrey modeled this ultra-realistic HO scene depicting Guildford RR’s run-down spur at Watertown, Mass.
Out with the Old,
in with the New
With a gondola full of scrap concrete and a centerbeam flatcar loaded with wrapped lumber, this freight train is handling both ends of the building industry supply chain. Follow poster @uprail_ho_sail to check out more of his excellent HO scale rendition of the Santa Ana Industrial Lead in Southern California.
Congrats to the NMRBO 2021 Team Category Winners!
With their award-winning module, Patrick and EJ Iwanski showed off their impressive modeling skills. Each detail, from the towers to the footbridge over the rail, comes together for realism telling a vibrant story in this unique scene. Well done Patrick & EJ!
