17 THE SAN JUAN & SOUTHWESTERN by Bernie Levine
This colorful Sn3 layout is situated in its own building and boasts all the elements of a good layout: main station and servicing facilities, yard, two turntables, wye trackage, dual-gauge trackage, several large mines, cattle loading areas, small towns along the route, mountains and forests, high trestles and streams. In this issue we tour the pike, but in issues hereafter we hope to bring you more material from the SJ&S.
20 SCRATCHBUILDING TECHNIQUES FOR RGS CABOOSE by Bob Shank
Using scale plans, as well as his own 1952 measurements of Rio Grande Southern caboose #0404, veteran Sn3'er Bob Shank tells how he scratchbuilt this caboose in Sn3. He covers everything from interior details to underbody details to battery-operated lights and painting tips. Much of the information can be transferred to your other Sn3 modeling projects.
