Modeling Modern Conrail in HO Scale
by Matt Arentzen
A favorite among CRCyc readers, Matt does awesome modern Conrail modeling in HO scale. Usually, he begins with a stock model, such as the latest from Atlas, and then adds additional details. His weathering techniques really bring the models to life, making them look like they belong on an operating railroad. As long as he keeps modeling and people keep requesting his photos, look for more to come in the future.
