JULY/AUGUST 2023:Gary Bothe has yet another way to clean track and describes his track cleaning car. The On30 Onion Valley Mining Co. by David Balser is another inspiring layout. Rob Bell continues his series on White Pass & Yukon Route locomotives by describing three locomotives that had short lives on the White Pass, and Peter Replinger shows readers the Leudinghaus Brothers logging operation that went from narrow to standard gauge. Adding figures to your layout is described by Gregg Condon, MMR; while Dave Adams shows how he built his On3 prize winning parlor car using a vacuum formed roof. All this and more in the July/August Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette!
