In the September 2021 issue of Classic Toy Trains, prolific author and modeler Stan Trzoniec shows how to observe real railroads and add details from them to our layouts to increase realism. We’ll also visit two O gauge layouts. The first is built by a northerner and models the Southern Ry.; the other uses traditional trains and great scenery to create a beautiful railroad. There’s also a look at American Flyer’s early chrome Alco PA locomotives, a scarce steamer Greatest Find, and a contemporary Collectible Classic. You’ll also get a review of MTH Trains’ recently released SD24 model, and our new “S gauge now & then” column, plus much more!

This is supposed to be classic toy trains newsletter, why all the model railroader stuff?
I’m assuming you must now subscribe to trains.com in order to get things like “Bob’s Train Box”, which used to be a part of the subscription for CTT’s.
Is this the case?
You are correct. If it were not part of the Trains.com subscription, series like Bob’s Train Box and Truck’s Toy Trains would not be made. Thank you for watching!
