Welcome to Model Railroader Video Plus
MRVP Contributing Editor Gerry Leone completes this How-To Library mini-series by demonstrating the steps for casting lightweight plaster rocks using the molds created in Part 1. He then shares his expert techniques for staining rocks to give them a natural-looking appearance.
Recently Model Railroader senior editor Dana Kawala had a chance to examine and operate a preproduction sample of Walthers new HO scale Plymouth ML-8 switcher. The model includes a SoundTraxx Digital Command Control (DCC) motor decoder with a CurrentKeeper capacitor system. See the switcher in action as it works a yard on the Model Railroader staff layout.
Here on MR Video Plus, September is back-to-your-railroad month! Ask MRVP is also back in session, with host David Popp addressing topics related to trackwork/turnouts, weathering stains, coupler repair, DCC, scenery, and more. Hal Miller and Steve Otte from Model Railroader magazine also lend a helping hand, so sharpen your pencil and prepare to take copious notes!
In Charlie Conway's final Trackside Postcard from his UK trip, he shares a closer look at Dave Lowery's lovely cottage and "garden railway" trains passing just inches (centimeters) away! Of course, the tour of the property wouldn't be complete without a look at Dave's O scale (1:43) model railroad too!
In this Video Vault segment, host Allen Keller tours Rick Shoup's Atlantic & Western HO scale layout, operated and maintained by a group of friends Rick calls The Tuesday Nite Choir Boys.
MR Insider host Jenny Maakse isn't so interested in "hittin' the books" this September. With MR Video Plus at her fingertips, she's got a far better way to learn more about the World's Greatest Hobby! You too can make the most of your model railroading experience by watching new episodes of Off The Rails/How-To Library with Gerry Leone, and Charlie's Trackside Postcards with Chas Conway and MR's Tom Danneman later this month. Plus, you'll also want to view our Winston-Salem Southbound layout videos featuring David, Jenny, and Kent...but only if you're an MR Video Plus subscriber!
