Model Railroad Hobbyist | October 2015 | #68 WHAT’S NEAT WITH KEN PATTERSON Ken Patterson column St. Louis prototype meet ... This month we cover the prototype modelers meet in St. Louis MO this past August. We talk about track and layout design and some of the things to think about when planning a new layout. We have an interview with James Lincoln as he discusses his Proto:48 3D printed track details. We also cover tool tips with an overview of rotary tools. There is an interview with Mike Skibbe and the Midwest Mod-U- Track N scale layout. Plus Joe Steimann is up to his old tricks with a rocket-propelled flat car in G scale during my open house and bonfire in conjunction with the RPM meet. We also start a new video segment called “Modeling Ideas From Above” with proto- type drone footage from our professional drone pilot Jon Dietzen. It really shows how our models should look. Great segments in this month’s video for October 2015. XX PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF SUPERB MODELS MRHMAG.COM • TABLE OF CONTENTS • INDEX
