The cover photo for this quarter’s edition is from Jim Kindraka’s article about building an S-Scale America RS-1 kit in brass. Jim Kehn completes his construction of a “Generic Big Four Tower – Part 2” in this edition. Former NYCSHS Director Hugh Guillaume tells us all about the HO-scale brass Hudsons from Mizuno. Continuing his list of N-scale construction articles, Tom Long tells us about his 19000-series caboose construction. In our regular feature, “O-Gauge Model Railroading,” Bob Shaw shares “Running a Trolley Line Down Main Street.” Prolific modeler Seth Lakin builds both of the NYC 19000 Lot 732 cabooses he worked with American Model Builders to produce as exclusive NYCSHS kits. Tom Gerbracht shares descriptions of five videos of his NYC Niagaras and a link to view them. And you also get all of the regular features with “NYCSHS RPO,” “Extra Board,” “What’s New,” and “The Observation Car.” All in the July 1, 2018 edition.
