ABOUT THE COVER

Jim Six modified this Life-Like Proto 2000 unit by adding modest detail enhancements and adeptly applying weathering to create a model that captures the true feel of the prototype. Turn to page 32 to learn how you too can get results like this. Photo by Jim Six. INSET: A pair of mechanical horses are ready to haul express wagons anywhere they are needed around the Railway Express terminal in Jersey City. The sawhorse barriers were used frequently to keep motor traffic for the ferries to Manhattan separate from REA movements with slow-moving express wagons. Vic Roseman shows how he built this Walthers kit that is based on a prototype in that New Jersey city. Photo by V. S. Roseman.
