54 What’s next? by Christopher P. D’Amato What’s in store for railroads and model railroading during the next 25 years? It seems an appropriate question as RMC celebrates its 75th Anniversary this month.

89 Using the National Archives as a modeling resource: Pt. I by David G. Lambert The National Archives has thousands of railroad documents. Here is how you can access the material and what you are likely to find.
Modeling
56 Modeling a C&NW Alco slug set by Dennis Eggert The C&NW’s Alco C-425’s lacked dynamic brakes, had small fuel tanks and snowplows on the front pilots. Join us for a look at how to modify an Atlas model to reflect the North Western’s units.
76 Scratchbuilder’s corner: Road trip! by Bob Walker Sometimes getting away from your railroad can actually improve your modeling. Trips to conventions and to various locations for field research can often lead to new modeling ideas.
78 Prototype weathering on a CR covered hopper by Mike Rose Mike Rose shows how he tackles building one of Rail Yard Model’s beautiful new HO scale cast resin kits.
74 Scratchbuilding a country depot by Don Spiro This modeling project was inspired by a photo of the Rutland Railway’s South Shaftsbury, Vermont, depot.
