Layouts in the June 2020 Issue

Montana Rail Link's Mullan Pass in HO Scale

Tour Kirk Thompson's Mullan Pass layout, an HO scale model of the Montana Rail Link's crossing of the Rocky Mountains. We have featured this layout before but share many new photographs of it. Kirk's operations mimic the MRL's handling of BNSF trains. You'll enjoy this unique layout and its impressive views of the pass, as well as switching in the city of Helena, Montana.

Modeled Waterfronts in HO and N Scale

We share photos of several layouts' ports and waterfronts to give you ideas for ways to incorporate them into your layout and improve operations. The images are from several layouts in both HO and N scale.

Make Snowbanks for Your Layout
Our project this month shows you how to make your own realistic-looking snowbanks. We share photos of each step. This project is simple to complete.
