NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020: This month we feature Pete Leach’s On30 On30 Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway. Bob Poli builds a stamp mill in F scale, Brooks Stover constructs a logging caboose in S scale, and Dieter Jaeger creates a tractor shed in O scale from digital images. Johnny Graybeal continues his series on East Tennessee & Western North Carolina locomotives with drawings by David Fletcher, and Mike May continues his three part series on lighting your layout. Craig Symington starts a two part series on taking old brass locomotives and rebuilding them for your layout, and Charlie Getz describes building a Mega-kit. All this and more in the November/December 2020 issue of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette!

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 537: A 1:20.3 Scale Three-Foot Gauge 2-8-0
Burlington 2-8-0 537 had outside frames with brake rods exposed under the driver counter-weights, a long smoke box, Burlington-style cuckoo clock headlight, and a bear trap spark arrester.
Class 10 2-6-2T Trench Engine in On30 by Bachmann Trains
Given the wide spread sale of surplus Vulcan and Davenport locomotives after the war, this 2-6-2T Trench Engine is very useful for freelance layouts.
Wondercutter
When I saw the Wondercutter in my latest Micro-Mark catalog, I knew I had to try one, because cutting with an X-Acto knife was getting difficult for me.
Modeling World War I Trench Railways
While I have never modeled these military trench railways, I have collected a few models over the years and have shared a few photos here.
