Re. dirt roads and Paul Scoles
Posted by banjobenne1 on Sunday, December 20, 2020 8:10 AM

8 to 10 years ago the late Paul Scoles wrote a series of articles on scenery for Model Railroader. One part of that series was on dirt roads. How can I get a print out of that part? Thank you for any help you may offer, and MERRY CHRISTMAS. Different magazine my bad I apologize to everyone esp Model Railroader.

I did a search of the digital archives this morning, and there are a ton of articles with Paul Scoles, and he has written many books.  

Too time consuming to go through all of them.

If you could narrow the time frame down, it might make it easier, or you can subscribe to the archives and look for yourself

You could also check http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/scenery/clods/ which shows  old dirt roads.  

On an On30 layout I did here in Australia for an exhibiton layout with a club, I copied a friends idea of squashing and sieving a yellowish clay cat litter ... Looked very effective in my view but I would say that.

The layout is show on these pages
