Hi all,

Found two more digital modelling magazines.
Unfortunately no slot racing magazines, but model railroading magazines. 
Both are rich in scenery ideas, techniques such as 3D printing and much more... (average 40-90 pages)
The N Scale Railroading magazine focuses on making models in 1:160 scale.
The Trainini magazine focuses on making models in scale 1:220 and
will be published in the German language and a separate English version.
So they are about small scales, but in my opinion the techniques described can be applied to any scale.
Both magazines are published monthly and are legally free to download or read online! 
See for yourself if it could be something for you...

N Scale Railroading  magazine (1:160 scale) 
Publisher & Editor : Kirk Reddie

website : https://nscalerailroadingmagazine.com/
download : https://nscalerailroadingmagazine.com/wp...-DEC-B.pdf

         

contents:
Page 04. New Products.
Page 14. Mike Pagano shares part 4 of his write up of the new Roco/ Fleischmann Z21 DCC system. 
                 This part covers their auto-reverse system.
Page 16. Large passenger terminals can help define an area even after the rails are pulled up. 
                 My third version of Seattle Union Station is an ~accurate block of wood. 
                 Several of us discussed how to make an actual model. 
                 Ron Nowka came up with the concept of decopaging resized photographs onto a wood frame. 
                 The resolution up close is rough but at arms length the model looks great with faux 3D parts and scale bricks. 
                 Details will be added but Ron’s method saved time and money.
Page 35. One of our most popular recent features is the FREMO americaN layout featured in #127. They are back!

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

website : https://nscalerailroadingmagazine.com/
download : https://nscalerailroadingmagazine.com/wp...JAN-01.pdf

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)...

         

contents:
Page 04. New Products.
Page 06. George Hollwedel shares how he installs Caboose Industries ground throws to 
              power his new #8 Atlas C80 turnouts to show route thrown.
Page 25. Diane Wolfgram is working on her T&NO Sunbeam and Hustler consists. 
             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.
