This workshop will be interesting to anyone, not just the model railroader! Take a trip back in time, to when Rangeley was the playground of the rich and famous, and when rails ruled how they got there. What was life like during a vacation in the most modern resort in New England at The Rangeley Lake House? What did you do for fun? How did you communicate with the outside world before everyone had a cell phone, or even a telephone? Was there even hot water? Something made people flock to Rangeley back in the day. Learn what it was, and at the same time, learn how to incorporate research into improving your model railroad.

Selective compression is a process in modelbuilding, in which bulky and/or repetitious elements of the prototype being modeled are omitted, in order to capture the important details in a smaller-than-scale model.
Forced perspective is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. |
