Welcome, follow along with George Dutka's narrow gauge ramblings featuring his HOn30" Carrabassett and Quebec Ry. diorama's and the On30" Wiscasset and Quebec modules built jointly with Peter Mumby.
Anyhow I recently did find a copy of Model Railroad Planning 2025. I was presently surprised to see a feature on modeling the WW&F included done by Peter Leach.
