Modeling
65 Modeling Southern Pacific's 40-foot AAR boxcars by Anthony Thompson, Richard Hendrickson and Steve Peery

82 RMC/Dremel Kitbashing Award: Kitbashing the GP60B: Another approach by Robert Seale
There's more than one way to kitbash a Geep, and Robert Seale won this month's award for his fine modeling of a Santa Fe GP60B.
87 Forest Lumber and Building Supplies, Inc. by Frank Cicero When the author decided to replace the old lumber yard on his layout, he chose to update it as a more typical "building supply center" of today.
92 Aging cars with rust by Charles Derus

Prototype
69 EMD's GP6O's and GP59 text and drawings by Eric Neubauer with Ken Goslett
The GP60 is the most recent and highest horsepower four-axle offering from GM's Electro-Motive Division. Its development, along with that of the GP59, is an interesting story.
83 Santa Fe's Super Fleet by Mike Martin
When Santa Fe went looking to improve its image, it found that a return to the classic "warbonnet" paint scheme was just what was needed to catch the public's eye
94 Third-hand boxcars: The ex-F&CC boxcars of the NCNG by Herman Darr
