Going Somewhere

When Ken Jaglinski drew up layout plans for the Ashland, Superior & Pacific in the early 1980s he fashioned them so trains would run in and out of view across the landscapes much like prototypes. “I like it when trains seem to be going somewhere and you lose continuous sight of them,” he said. That’s just one illusion created by Jaglinski on the layout that is a Milwaukee-area fixture and was featured on the NMRA’s 75th Anniversary National Convention layout tour in 2010.
Isn’t that neat

The “What’s Neat This Week in Model Railroading” and “What’s Neat” podcasts are attracting a legion of YouTube viewers. Depending on the time of year, some podcasts – which talk about anything model railroading – generate 28,000-50,000 views.
