SEPTEMBER 2024: Lance Mindheim returns with a second take on modeling modern scenes of urban railroading in Miamia, Florida. This month, we visit his gritty HO scale East Rail switching district. Gregory LaRocca shows us how he modeled a gondola modified to handle early containerized intermodal freight, while Alan Mende motorizes a Funaro & Camerlengo Plymouth locomotive kit. Detlef Kurpanek continues with the second part of his series on Layout Command Control, and Tom Piccirillo rebuilds and upgrades an ancient Scale-Craft K4s in O scale. All this and more in the August issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
