steam locomotive-to remind modelers of what railroading is all about. 60 The Virtual Gilpin: Pt. II by Mark Baldwin

72 A new layout: Pt. I by Don Spiro
After tearing down his old layout when he moved west, Don Spiro
has become a born-again modeler and along the way discovered
that the hobby doesn't have to be dictated by hard and fast rules. 80 A bucket load for a flat by Richard Flock
