Last month we introduced the PMP-112, a 112 channel-capable receiver that is CTC16 and sound system compatible. This month we'll explain how to build the receiver.
83 Marshall Pass: Modeling a railroad and its operations by Lee Rainey
The Rio Grande's line over Marshall Pass was their original main line to the west and as such handled a large volume of traffic. This month we begin a two part look at the railroad and how it operated over stiff mountain grades as well as how the opertation can be modeled and the traffic patterns simulated.
Modeling

With a little work, the Robin's Rails 60-foot Greenville boxcar can be converted into four different auto parts cars.

A few finishing touches and the addition of some structures are all that's needed to complete our N gauge railroad.
