N Scale magazine Sept/Oct 2012

Just got a complimentary copy of the Sept/Oct issue of N Scale magazine.

It includes my second article on my 4'x8' layout. This is not an easy read like the first article (see Oct 14, 2011 blog). The first was meant to tell a story. This is designed to show how much can be done on a 4'x8' and attempt to get some armchair railroaders into building mode.

It covers 10 pages and has 30 pictures. [I'll be famous for about 5 minutes.  :-)  ]

So far the only problem I have seen, is that they failed to give David K. Smith the credit for the beautiful track plan drawing he provided. I'll try to get a correction in the follow-up issue.

 

With the next PRSL module rapidly proceeding in the garage, I am afraid the days are numbered for this platform. I will miss it. It was my first layout following 20 years of armchair railroading inactivity (and collecting excessive amounts of trains). Hopefully I can find it a good home (and get at least enough money to replace the turnouts I'll be losing).
