Modeling NYCTA Subways in V-Scale

The July issue of Railroad Model Craftsman has my five-page article on Fred Barbieri's New York City's subway modeling in MSTS. This issue is about to hit the newsstand and is probably already in the mail to subscribers. I received my author's issue today.

If you like the article, be sure to let the editors at RMC know. That will encourage them to continue giving coverage to virtual railroading.

Cheers,
Al
