Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine 2014 May Visiting Paul Novaks Gold Creek Railway
Special features
38 Perspective: A matter of scale by Thomas Bailey
The reason why some modelers choose to model branchlines, shortlines, traction, or narrow gauge may be that it is easier to understand and capture their essence.
62 Visiting Paul Novak's Gold Creek Railway by Paul Novak, Jr.; with photos by David Williams
Set in Montana, this well-scenicked, HO scale model railroad features steam and diesel operations, plus a traction line.
73 Scale model animation: Adding life to a layout by
Dr, Geoff Bunza
Thanks to the availability of inexpensive electronic controls, miniature motors, small sound generators and tiny LEDs, sounds, lights and action can all be combined to enhance layout scenes.
Modeling
40 Modeling Seaboard Coast Line E3/E6 No. 501 by Scott Lupia This interesting locomotive was built as an E3, wrecked and then rebuilt as an E6. Having racked up over six million miles in service, it survives today at the North Carolina Transportation Museum. This model captures the engine in its final years of regular service.
50 The basics of metal etching by Scott Lupia
What do you do when the parts you need for a model aren't available: How about having them made for you? This is one way to do it.
52 Simplifying hip roofs by John Nehrich
Hip roofs were popular throughout the country during the late 1800's and early 1900's when many railroad stations were constructed. Here is how you can model them.
55 RMC/Dremel Kitbashing Award: Modeling a New Haven piggyback flat car by David Messer
Adding a ramp and siderails to an InterMountain flat car can produce a good looking model of a 1950's NYNH&H piggyback car.
68 Scratchbuilder's Corner: Colors and textures by Bob Walker Using stains and chalk dusts are great ways to achieve subtle variations in color and to highlight textures.
70 Modeling a tarpaulin-covered load by Patrick Bopp
You've probably already got everything you need to make some great looking tarp-covered loads. Here's how to do it.
