Vintage February 1997 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine in good condition. Complete and tightly bound, with no missing pages, major tears, writing, or odors—some light to moderate handling wear including a small corner crease/edge rub on the front cover (visible in photos), slight spine stress from age/reading, and typical page toning, but overall solid, presentable, and fully readable with a bright cover and clean interior.
This late-90s issue is loaded with excellent modeling inspiration and features, including:
SAL (Seaboard Air Line) FT diesels feature
Grand River Railway (trolleys/electrics in Ontario, very modelable line)
Operating the new S&LS (Sandric & Lake Superior) model railroad layout
Kitbashing small houses (front porch details)
Prototypical profile: C&NW insulated boxcar #71
D&RGW M-64 4-8-4 steam locomotive profile (Overland Models ad)
Trees & Trains series (Sawmill logging scene)
Diode matrix switch control, planning operations, and more
Photo sections, ads for Bachmann, Overland, Bev-Bel, JV Models, etc.
Great for modelers interested in SAL/Seaboard diesels, electric/trolley lines, C&NW freight cars, D&RGW steam, layout operation, or kitbashing structures. Solid reading copy or addition to a Railroad Model Craftsman back-issue collection.
