I'm going to be taking the Coast Starlight all the way from Seattle to LA in March. Could anyone tell me what geographic areas (approximately) we...
Actually, after some debate someone at the Atlas Rescue Forums posted an answer. It turns out that it is a product of the old Milwaukee Road......
Hi all, I'm going to be constructing a small model railroad featuring the Milwaukee Road set in Puget Sound during the mid 1980s (if that date...
[ATTACH] I just spotted this photo on Google Images while doing a search for Milwaukee Road. At first glance, I was flabbergasted, thinking it...
Hi all, At the moment I'm contemplating putting together an extremely small shelf layout. I live in a tiny apartment, and move rather frequently,...
Just in case anyone was curious, I got to the bottom of it by emailing the Scale Four group. According to them, Hepton Wharf is 7'9" by 1'9"....

I really considered going into 2-Rail O for a while, too. I toyed with buying an engine for a few weeks. And I was coming at it from the same...
I have gone back and forth between N-Scale and HO several times now, and here are my thoughts: 1) Nothing can really rival N-Scales...
Probably granite, NYW&B. So I guess what I'd be going for is something with fairly clean, blocky lines since when granite weathers it seems to...
Hey all, I have a bit of a flair for the dramatic when I model, and despite the small size of my 2x6' layout, I'm going to feature a few...
