    Has anyone heard anthing about Keiths layout?? I was on E-bay and saw some Milw. stuff on auction, the seller was KCFink from Wisconsin. He stated that his house got hit by a tornado last August, the layout wasn't hurt but it had to be dismanteled and he didn't have room to store everything. There is some great looking stuff, it's a shame he has to sell it. I was thinking of buying maybe a boxcar just to say I have a piece of a once great layout.

    Hi Andy-

    Yes. It is true. I believe his layout was actually in the basement of his brother's home.

    Here is his web site:

    Keith Fink's Milwaukee Road in HO

    Thanks Ken,
    I already have his site bookmarked. His layout was one of the reasons I switched from modeling C&NW and changed to Milw. He had one of the only layouts I have ever seen where foam board was used for top and benchwork!! I guess you can say he's my Milw. mentor. A couple years back he won the MR photo contest with his famous pic of eagles nest tunnel, I took the picture out of the magazine and have it framed hanging in my train room.
