MARCH/APRIL 2025: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS! In our 50th Anniversary issue, Sam Swanson describes his HO scale L&S Salvage. It won first place dioramas at the 2024 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Pittsburgh, Pa., and is typical of the models featured in the Gazette over the past 50 years. Also inside is Rob Teates Gallery of 1:20.3 scale California prototype freight cars. Eric Menger tells the story of Al Sohl’s On30 layout and Rob Bell continues his epic description of White Pass & Yukon Route locomotives. The behind the scenes story of Finelines and its merge with the Slim Gauge News into the Gazette is revealed by editor Bob Brown and Charlie Getz tells about his 50 years, and counting, of “Narrow Gauge Scene” columns. All this and more in the March/April issue of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette!
