Build the Central New Mexico Ry.

Former Model Railroader Associate Editor George Sebastian-Coleman completed his Central New Mexico Ry. in about a year. Housed in the back of garage, the On3/On2½ layout shows that even with a modest space and budget you can build a great-looking and fun-to-operate model railroad. It's set in the mountains of the Southwest during the 19th century. You'll learn how George built the 11 x 17-foot layout from benchwork to wiring to adding final touches to the scenery. He'll even give you tips for adding a decoder to an old DC locomotive and for converting On2½ rolling stock to On3. (26 pages, 2.8 MB)
