Modeling Shortline Railroads
No Customer Reviews
Modeling shortline railroads can lead down many paths. They often feature smaller, older equipment, less-frequent operation, and simple track arrangements, all of which can make them easier to re-create compared to high-traffic mainline railroads. This lends them to modeling, especially for those with limited space. It also provides a great opportunity for modelers who like highly detailed scenes. Short lines can also be the subject of larger basement-sized layouts, with the ability to model a more significant portion of an entire prototype line compared to a large railroad. In Modeling Shortline Railroads, you'll see: Classic and modern examples of prototype short lines in several areas of the country, Modern holding companies that operate multiple shortline railroads, How older locomotives and freight equipment get new life on short lines, Examples of how modelers have used short lines to create realistic layouts, How a shortline layout can be realistically freelanced based on a prototype example
