Don't miss the July 2026 issue of Model Railroader magazine! Two-level PRR layout depicting Harrisburg and Erie, Pa., to Buffalo, N.Y., including the 2.6% grade over Keating Summit. Arpad Eiler’s tribute to the USA where he emigrated as a child. Will Parsons wanted finer ground foam than he could find locally, so he decided to grind his own. Using makeup sponges, paint, and a blender, Will found a workable solution that might work for you, too! Matt Snell used a Walthers balloon roof passenger car kit to build this distinctive rail car used to entertain important visitors to the railroad, or to take inspection tours. Lou Sassi modifies and details metal Ertl farm machinery and weathers it for his Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes RR. And much more!
