Margaret Kilgallen: Heroines

Margaret Kilgallen: Heroines

"I especially hope to inspire young women, because I often feel like so much emphasis is put on how beautiful you are, and how thin you are, and not a lot of emphasis is put on what you can do and how smart you are. I'd like to change the emphasis of what's important when looking at a woman." Filmed in San Francisco in 2000, Margaret Kilgallen (1967-2001) discusses the female figures she incorporated into many of her paintings and graffiti tags. Loosely based on women she discovered while listening to folk records, watching buck dance videos, or reading about the history of swimming, Kilgallen painted her heroines to inspire others and to change how society looks at women. Three of Kilgallen's heroines—Matokie Slaughter, Algia Mae Hinton, and Fanny Durack—are shown and heard through archival recordings. Kilgallen is shown tagging train cars with her husband, artist Barry McGee, in a Bay Area rail yard and painting in her studio at UC Berkeley (source: Art21).

Chicago, Aurora and Elgin

Chicago, Aurora and Elgin

America in the 1950s comes to life in this portrait of a well-loved interurban line which linked the bustle of Chicago with the quiet of the Illinois prairie towns. Two major lines are covered almost in their entirety, from track-side and from the cab. Trains dating back to the early 1900s burn up the Illinois countryside at speeds which rival those of modern day rapid transit. This feature is an important historic record, but also an ode to a time when life in America was a little slower and a little sweeter. Film by Frank Pfuhler.

The Basics of Model Railroading with Wayne Wesolowski

The Basics of Model Railroading with Wayne Wesolowski

Wayne dreams he can build a small layout with a minimum of expenses and space. He gets some helpful advice from his "Good Sense." There's so much to consider... time period, type of traffic, and scale. Wayne selects a 1950's-era branch line in HO. The Atlas track components cause the size to be 4'6" x 3'8". L-girder is perfect for the Marengo, Milwaukee & Northern. We need 1x1s, 1x2s, 1x3s, 1x4s, 2x2s, and a sheet of 1/2" plywood. "Keep it simple" is good advice for a first-time layout. However, by dividing the layout into 4 blocks we can run two trains. Polyfoam is the base for the scenic landforms. Wayne adds laytex paint, ground foam, and rocks. Artist's acrylic Gloss Medium forms the lake. All the structures get some weathering. Wayne lists some of the problem areas - couplers, track, and trucks - and shows you how to make them work properly. Locomotives can also be a source of trouble if you fail to maintain them.

Many wheel arrangements are featured, as is the passenger and freight rolling stock of the era ...including truss-rodded clerestory-roofed wooden maroon passenger cars on the B&M!
