Hobby Magazine Articles

(The 3 articles slated for publishing will NOT be being published!)  

The first article deals with the insanity of tearing apart 70% of my 95% complete Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines layout. It explores all the interesting obstacles along the way.

Since I am inherently a windbag, the first article was so long it had to be split into two parts. The second part will deal with operating the new layout which was now capable of running a full day's PRSl 1950s freight schedule on the lines operating through Woodbury, NJ.

The last part deals with a separate topic. It is my firm belief that two things make a model railroad look like a Christmas toy train layout. The second reason deals with the curves, especially turnbacks, and this article deals with the issues they create and offers some options to deal with them.
