APRIL 2026: Rapido Trains recently added an HO scale replica of Electro-Motive Division’s early six-axle SDs. The Milwaukee Road kept its first-generation SDs on the roster and active well after other railroads had retired them. See the recycled SD10 in this issue with a review of the 1:87 release and information on the prototype from reviewer David Giglio. All this and more in the April issue of Model Railroad News!
