NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2024: Keith Pashina presents a revolutionary idea for small scale narrow gauges: Battery power on board, otherwise known as “Dead Rail.” Craig Symington also shows you how to add realistic cotton wood trees to your layout and Dan Quine describes, with plans, the locomotives of the Yellow Aster Gold Mine. On3 modelers will enjoy Shoji Sakamoto’s Red Mountain Branch as he modeled it in far away Japan, and Gregg Condon makes the case for adding some sheep on the track. We also showcase the top award-winning models at the 44th National Narrow Gauge Convention! All this and more in the November/December 2024 issue of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette!
