Try the model railroad index, link attached, for specfic issues. A company called "Railpub" advertises on this index web site and supplies older, out-of-print magazines. I have always had very good luck with them.

The basic idea was a low tech (no lathes or machine shop stuff) home hand tools, the hand drill was very necessary in a lot of the techiniques, and of course a lot of hand work cutting brass stock with a jewlers saw, good set of a variety of files....etc. The author was, I believe, Mel Thornburo (sp?). I learned a lot from these type of articles and still utilize many of the techniques etc. Most of these articles were written for O or HO but are easily transposed to S. > > I wish I could be of more specific help, my RR modeling mags are all packed up...pending my move... or I would have been able to give you specific issues to look for. > > S gaugingly yours, > > Peter Loeb > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
