JUNE 2025: We continue our coverage of layouts that will be part of the 2025 NMRA National Convention in Novi, Mich., this summer. This month, we follow Extra 626 West on Dan Lewis’ beautiful N scale Milwaukee Road North Montana Line. Patrick Lawson shares scale drawings of the Milwaukee Road depot in Green Bay, Wis., while Kelly Regan shares his techniques for building a coal dealer’s trestle using 3D printed parts. Lex Parker shows us how he packed up his large layout to be shipped to a new owner in Australia. All this and more in the June issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
