Portable workbench - 5
moderate scratchbuilding. Since the workbench is built of
wood, it’s sturdy enough to pack in the car under a pile of lug-
gage, but still light enough to carry easily, making it perfect for
taking a few modeling projects on vacation. When I’m done
working, all I have to do is close the lid and set the workbench
aside for later, rather than having to pick up all the pieces and
clean up my mess.
Ken Rickman lives with his wife
in Salisbury, NC. He has worked
for Norfolk Southern for over 16
years, and is currently a locomo-
tive engineer. Working for the
railroad has given him a greater
appreciation for fine modeling
and for the finer points of opera-
tions. He models the Danville
& Western Railway, a Virginia
short line which is today one of
the branch lines in his territory. He is also exploring
ways to utilize 3D printing in model railroading.
