DECEMBER 2025: Inspired by operations in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Gorge region, Phil Monat’s HO scale proto-freelanced Delaware & Susquehanna employs a multi-level design for maximum main line running. Sam Swanson and Matt Woods take two approaches to modeling a common shed, while Dennis Eggert kitbashes a Tangent caboose into a C&NW prototype. Brooks Bentz takes us on a tour of New London, Conn., while Doug Nelson shows us how he scratchbuilt a model of New London Union Station. All this and more in the December issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
