The rugged terrain of the western United States can be a tough place to build a railroad, but it offers some impressive scenery for modelers. This series of seven articles features layouts in HO, N, O, and Z scales based on railroads located in that region of the country. Layouts include those built by Lyn St. Laurent, Jim Dias, Bill Hewitt, Eric Brooman, David Haines, Mike Brock, and the Le Mesa Model Railroad Club, and
include modeling covering both prototype and freelanced railroads and locations. (59 pages, 9.2 MB)
