<p>Texas Zepher:</p> <p>Thank you so much for the information!</p> <p>I will be modeling the museum (Yes, the St. Louis Museum of Transport) as it currently is (With one or two custum touches of course!). This is a long term project of mine. It will involve no doubt, lots of custom construction of the sheds there, possibly hand built switches, and rivet-counting accuracy.</p> <p>I hope to include the mainline track next door to the MOT, so that I can use this as an expansion point, if I decide to build on.</p> <p>My current plan is to model from the UP mainline down to the first parking lot. I have already built a 4'X8' bechwork, if it isn't long enough or wide enough I will attach "wings" onto it, where I can continue to expand.</p> <p>[quote user="Texas Zepher"] </p> <p>P.S. My favorite part of the museum is the wooden Rock Island caboose right of the gift store, so I'm telling you that you have to model that part! :-) </p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>The RI caboose is no longer next to the gift shop, It has been moved up into one of the sheds. But I don't think I will put any models of the equipment on display, as it would likely turn out to be the never-ending undertaking! (And very expensive, No doubt!)</p>
