This end of year episode of Cody’s Office is packed with new products, a helpful modeling tip, and answers to viewer mail questions. Senior Editor Cody Grivno begins by showcasing the latest from Bachmann Trains–a Trinity 5161 cubic foot capacity, three bay covered hopper in HO scale, which retails for $59. Next, he spotlights the N scale Budd Rail Diesel Car from Rapido Trains, an RDC-1 body style model offered in Phase I and II versions. DC models are $149.95, and DCC/sound versions are $259.95. Finally, he reviews Jeff Wilson’s latest book, Modeling the Paper Industry, now available at shop.trains.com.
For the modeling tip, Cody details a simple but effective park scene on the East Troy Industrial Park HO scale project layout. In the viewer mail segment, he addresses questions about steam engine operation and sources for N scale graffiti decals.
