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.

Woodbury Train Station Kit

 Right on Tracks Models kindly sent me some draftings of the PRSL Woodbury Train Station Kit they are developing. Target delivery time is sometime in the winter. The kit will include the tool shed and the waiting platform on the opposite side of the tracks from the train station. (At one time there was a 3-track mainline passing the station.)
