MAY 2024: Designed for operations, Michael Hauk’s HO scale Susquehanna & New York set in the 1930s is inspired by the central Pennsylvania short line designed to haul coal and timber. Don Janes shows us how he kitbashed a model of a Canadian Pacific Alco RS-2 assigned to New England operations, while Robert Schleicher demonstrates his scribe-and-break technique to scratchbuild an engine house from styrene. Tyler Whitcomb reviews car card and waybill operations on his N scale Tenino Western Railroad, while Brooks Stover recalls the delivery of a Climax engine to a West Virginia short line. All this and more in the May issue of Railroad Model Craftsman!
