Trackside Model Railroading’s April 2015 issue is a great one for steam enthusiasts. Wevisit Bill Busacca’s Rio Grande Southern layout. He models the central third ofthe RGS’ route, including the towns of Dolores, Stoner, and Rico, Colorado. His Sn3 scale layout is set in the 1940s. You will enjoy the carefully crafted scenes on the layout, from the red hills and cottonwoods of Stoner to the busy town of Dolores. Bill has modeled all of the Galloping Geese that were owned by the RGS.

We also feature Ron Hopkins’ freelanced Moclips & Beck’s Creek Railroad this month. Ron’s On30 layout is based on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula in the 1940s. The railroad serves the towns of Moclips, Hoquiam, and the fictional community of Beck’s Creek, where cedar trees are logged to be shipped to the shingle mill in Moclips. Tourists use the M&BC‘s passenger service to visit the coast in the summer.

In our instructional article this month, we show you how to make cattails for your own layout. This project is appropriate for any modeler who does not mind working with small parts, and is a fun addition to a pond or marsh scene. Making your own cattails allows you to vary the coloration and sizing of the cattails more than the average commercially-produced plant.

You can purchase your copy for $1.89 US here: https://www.tracksidemodelrailroading.com/archive/2015/apr2015issue.html
