Rail-Marine Modeling

Rail-marine modeling is a popular subject, and this 30-page article collection covers it from all angles. The opening story provides an overview of rail-marine operations, including vessels, operating schemes, and models. Then learn how to re-create a harbor and pier scene and build a multi-media tugboat kit.

If you’re looking for track plans with a rail-marine theme, we have you covered with two in HO scale. If space is at a premium, there’s a 15” x 80” shelf layout set in the mid-1950s. For those with more room, check out the 12 x 16-foot around-the-walls plan inspired by a Milwaukee Road branch line in the Pacific Northwest.

Finally, we’ll visit two layouts with a rail-marine theme. If you’re interested in modeling locations where the rails meet the water, you’ll want to check out this Digital Download collection.
