JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022: Pete Mesheau has been busy building a double-deck O gauge layout based on the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad. Ray Sadler tells you all about his On3 Mule Shoe Mining Company layout, while Johnny Graybeal completes his nine-part series on the locomotives of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad with plans by David Fletcher of numbers 10-14. Peter Replinger has plans and text about a Clyde Iron Works Gasoline Locomotive Crane. Adding rock retaining walls is covered by Gregg Condon, followed by building the bridge for the Romley turntable in On3 by Dan Windolph. All this and more in the January/February 2022 Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette!

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.
Why Would Anyone Not…?
I was fortunate to have visited several of the old California logging lines, and they have influenced my modeling for more than 70 years.
