This Great Model Railroads special themed issue highlights four of the best model railroads we’ve seen this year, including one international layout, two updates on layouts that have appeared in Model Railroader and past issues of Model Railroad Planning, plus a stunning layout housed in a purpose-built structure.

Other Can't Miss Stories:

Joe Green shares his HO scale layout depicting a version of the Chesapeake & Ohio in the valleys of West Virginia. 

Doug Tagsold’s Colorado & Southern has been in the pages before with its unique 1:72 scale narrow gauge line. He combined his 1:72 models with 1:87 (HO) in the background and 1:64 (S scale) in the foreground to create a forced perspective on his mountain set model railroad.

Dave Rickaby shows how he uses weeds collected at roadside to create realistic looking forest floor material.

Tony Koester explains how railroads are a lot like a fork, with the tines representing the yard at one end and the handle representing the main line. Tape two forks together and you have a schematic of a railroad, and you can start your planning from there.

Pelle Søeborg shares how he got interested in North American modeling - by picking up a stack of old Model Railroader issues in a Copenhagen specialty book store!
