OCTOBER 2026: Scott Calvert takes us on a tour of Farron Summit on his HO scale Canadian Pacific Boundary Subdivision, seen through the eyes of two railfans chasing trains in the early 1960s. Scott Meyer shows how he upgraded the Walthers coal trestle with added detail, while Glenn Lapkin shares his methods for making pine trees from usnea lichen. Jack Hughes kitbashes a Broadway Limited model into a replica of Canadian Pacific’s one-of-a-kind “Empress of Agincourt” MLW RSD-17. All this and more in the October issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
