    Does anyone recognize this 4x8 HO scale layout which was supposedly featured in Model Railroader magazine? I searched the track plan database but I can't locate it. Shown below are the same layout, each side of the backdrop.

    I might actually know that layout. I'm just having a brain fart. If I remember I will let you know.

    I'm told this layout came from Wisconsin. It was purchased by and currently resides at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum in Minnesota.

    I found this by searching "Whitfield & Eastern" on Google. Sure looks like MR's art work. Was this supposed to be one of their project layouts or just a track plan ?

    The track plan in the photos is different from the "Whitfield & Eastern" track plan posted above. In the photos you can clearly see two crossings on one side of the layout and a third crossing on the other side. The "Whitfield & Eastern" track plan has just a single crossing.
