MARCH 2026: We take a tour of Bob Van Gelder’s freelanced HO scale South River & Millville, a beautiful tribute to New England railroading that showcases detailed structures. John Alaniva shows us how he kitbashed a simple tower from a classic kit, while Jonathan Izen shares his photo diorama inspired by a small engine terminal in Binghamton, N.Y. Bill Yancey builds realistic trees from sea foam, and Robert Schleicher demonstrates how to use tree tunnels to mask exits through your backdrop. All this and more in the March issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
