Hi all,

The free English language, 55 page N Scale Railroading magazine #138, January 2022 issue is available now.

N Scale Railroading  magazine is published monthly by publisher & editor : Kirk Reddie

This issue has a great 27 page article about scratchbuilding Seattle's King Street Station (see cover photo) using a machine called : Cricut Maker  (https://cricut.com/en_us).
This is a machine for making things by plotting/cutting sheets of paper, balsa wood and a lot of other materials. 
In this article, author/modeler Brian Morgan has discovered that thin sheets of styrene can also be used with this machine to make building components. 
This device seems like a very interesting tool to me, next to a 3D-printer, -laser cutter or -mill. 
Btw I don't have any of them (yet)...

             This issue she shows how she made the heavyweight T&NO RPO/Express .
Page 28. Brian Morgan has been one of my favorite pioneers with operations, 
              researching the prototype, and now he shares how he built his 
              model of Seattle’s King Street Station (see cover photo) using Cricut Maker. 
              It is still a lot of work but this system takes some of the tedium from the precision cutting.
