SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2023: In this issue of O Scale Trains we continue on with Part 4 of Marty Megregian’s series detailing commercially built O scale brass steam locomotive drives. Martin Brechbiel relates scratchbuilding a classis vintage business structure in homage to our prior Editor called “Scace’s Braces.” Bob Poole gives us another look in on his modeling efforts on Santa Barbara and Moorpark. Yves Vidal wraps up his resurrection of an Overland UP M-10000. John McEnerney presents the finale of this Alexander GG-1 adventure. Lastly, we have a lovely photo of a gathering of steam locomotives gathered at Southern Pacific’s Los Angeles Taylor Yard engine facility on Jürg Lütscher’s Orange Empire O scale layout. All this and more in the September/October issue of O Scale Trains!
