Essay - Model Railroader - Thoughts on Its Future

Essay Model Railroader - Thoughts on Its Future Why chime in with this author's opinion? Like tens of thousands of our fellow modelers, I have a soft spot in my heart for Model Railroader , whose page count and circulation seem to decline w ith each passing year . Waukesha's response? With every issue, Kalmbach's drumbeat to persuade its readers to switch to digital grows louder and more incessant. Admittedly, Kalmbach's staff have launched two stunning print annuals that defy that trend - yet their effort seems unrelenting - one recent Kalmbach editorial stated clearly that they saw the future as digital - we are on notice. Changing their company name to Kalmbach Media Co. settles the matter as far as they are concerned.

Helpful Hint - Applying Wood Grain to a Trackside Details TD-39 Toolbox

Nicholas Kalis May 2024 Helpful Hint This nicely detailed brass toolbox is meant for attachment to my Fn3 tender on my Oahu Sugar Company. I particularly liked the hinge detail on this casting - even its modeled bolts are carefully rendered by its manufacturer. My 1:20.3 plastic tender was more than a kit bashed but less than a technically scratch built project (article in the works). Indeed, this toolbox was a good enough project - I used only one color of inexpensive acrylic craft paint to replicate the prototype wood. I used black acrylic paint to render the hinges a realistic color (I possibly used a marker, my record keeping on this detail leaves a bit to be desired). I had handy a package of leads for some special type of writing instrument, so I decided to take a greyish lead and draw wood grain on this toolbox; this free-hand graining came out looking good to me. I then gave this painted casting a protective coat with a rattle can of Testors Dullcote to preserve my drawing.
