Trackside Model Railroading™ DVD & Magazine
Trackside Model Railroading is the magazine for model railroad enthusiasts who want an in-depth view of layouts. We cover two layouts each month, including all fine scales. Our railfanning style includes video of the trains running on the layouts as well as an article and many photographs of each layout we share.
Check out our Blu-ray and DVD tours
We offer some of the layouts we feature on Blu-ray & DVD. The videos are usually 80-120 minutes and have much more video of the layouts and often bonus features that are not in the magazine.
Trackside Model Railroading's Current Issue
Jointly-Owned D&RGW and BN Short Line Serves the Coors Facility in Colorado in HO
Tour a freelanced HO scale layout by Chuck Lee that's based in Colorado. Chuck models the Colorado Front Range Railroad (CFRR), which is jointly-owned by the Burlington Northern and the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The railroad serves the Coors bottling facility in Golden. This feature includes many photos of the layout and an article about its design and construction. Chuck also built a custom CTC-style dispatch panel for the layout and he shares about it in an onsite interview.
