JUNE 2022: We visit Joe Visintine’s HO scale East Bluff Terminal, a freelanced railroad based on the switching districts around St. Louis, and one of the home layouts you can tour during the NMRA National Convention. Marc Simpson shows us how he kitbashed a trio of Canadian National lightweight Geeps, while Matt Hankins demonstrates how he scratchbuilt a unique commerical block for his mid-century model railroad. Jim Coady combines an old commercial kit with modern 3D printed parts to create a unique model of a side-dump rock car. Enjoy modeling tips and techniques, product news and reviews, and more in the June issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
