Description

Modeling Shortline Railroads from Firecrown and Model Railroader Magazine is a good look at how to model smaller railroads which offer distinct differences from their mainline counterparts. Modeling shortline railroads can lead down many paths. They often feature older equipment, less-frequent operation, and simple track arrangements, all of which can make them easier to re-create. Author and modeler Tony Koester features both classic and modern examples of prototype short lines across the country in this book. the book covers:
 
  • 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

 
Modeling Shortline Railroads is one of many Firecrown railroading books. Softcover, 112 pages.
