Using Front Range cars, they can be easily modeled in HO); Modeling A B&LE SD18 (A chassis from an Athearn SD9 was combined with a body built from an Atlas SD24 and a Tyco GP20 to produce this model); Improved Lichen Bushes (With a little care in coloring, shaping and detailing, lichen can be made to yield good looking trees and bushes); Modeling The Mellen Depot (Bill describes how to scratchbuild a model of the Soo Line's Mellen, Wisconsin, depot, scale plans of which were features in last month's RMC); More Steam From Kits: Part III (Our series finishes up with a look at some of the modeling possibilities inherent in the MDC Old Time 2-8-0); RMC/Kitbashing Award: Freelancing A Transfer Caboose (This caboose is based on common prototype styles) Prototype - A Modern Hopper Unloading Facility (Here are scale plans for a small unloading facility); Low Side Gondolas Of The MEC And Other Roads (Over the years these cars have seen a variety of uses) Departments - Notes On An Old Timetable (Editorial); Safety Valve (Letters from our readers); Dispatcher's Report (Product and industry news); RMC Timetable (Scheduled events and notices); Test Track (Product reviews); Company Photographer (Camoflage by Dwayne Easterling); Collector Consist (Vulcan's 0-4-2T by Keith Wills); Editor's Notebook (Commentary); Classified Advertising (Commercial listings); Exchange Place (Non-commercial listings); Fealer Directory (Recommended hobby dealers); Advertising Index |

Special Features - Perspective: The Scenic Prairies (Despite what many people think of the Great Plains, the region offers some interesting geography that is ideally suited for modeling); The Connecticut & Ohio (This O scale layout is set in central Connecticut and features first and second generation diesel operations) Modeling - Scratchbuilding The M&NJ Enginehouse (This steel-sided structure is typical of many of today's prefabricated railroad buildings); Modeling The M&NJ's 44-Tonner (With the new M&NJ decals from Mocroscale and Bachmann's 44-tonner, it's easy to model this shortlilne diesel); A Traction Track-Cleaning Car (To solve the delicate problem of cleaning the tracks beneath the overhead wire and on the tight radius curves of his traction layout, the author designed this functional work car); RMC/Dremel Kitbashing Award: A Modernized N&W Coach (A pair of IHC 1920 coaches are the basis for this HO kitbashing project); Steel-Side USRA Rebuilds Part II (Last month, we presented a survey of prototype USRA double-sheathed boxcar rebuilding programs.

Special Features - Perspective: Ft. Anniversary (Fifty years ago, EMD's FT diesels led the motive power revolution that brought an end to steam power. In the model world, the diesel has also brought changes); The Pittsburgh & Shawmut RR (A hard working shortline in the bituminous coal region of north-central Pennsylvania is the inspiration for this HO layout) Modeling - Carpak: Chris Hollingshead's Steel SP Cabooses (Three different steel-sided cabooses used on the SP in the 1950s and 1960s, are the subject of this HO how-to modeling article); Easy Ways To Install Bridges And Trestles (You don't have to build a bridge in place to look like you did); Detailing Steel Mill Switchers (The steel mill switcher is an interesting breed of diesel with details not found on most common carrier locomotives); Water Tanks On The Clear Creek (Despite the railroad's standards, the C&S tanks on the Clear Creek line each had their own idiosyncrasies); Protofile 55: HBOG Sulfur Tanks (These cars were used to transport liquid sulfur); RMC/Dremel Kitbashing Award: Kitbashing A Union Pacific Log Car (The UP built these modern log cars out of surplus gondolas and modelers can do the same) Prototype - The M&NJ's Middletown Depot (Built in 1872, this interesting depot has served passengers traveling on the NYO&W and the M&U.
