how many people model the midwest ?

[Noah Hofrichter]

I'm planning a layout based on the Wsiconsin and southern Railroad. It'll be based on there Reedsburg sub from Madison to Reedsbug WI. I'm planning on it being about 20x20 ft, but bigger would be better. I might even make it a double level to get more prototipical distancees between towns.

My favorites are the Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago and Eastern Illinois as they ran through or near my home town in southern Illinois; however, I don't have a home layout and run my trains on a club layout, so the scenery certainly isn't specific to southern Illinois. Another club member is from Rock Island, Illinois, so you can guess what road he prefers. Despite the lack of scenery from a specific area, I still enjoy running my trains on the club layout.

I am waiting to build a layout based on the Rock Island and CB&Q, with Illinois and Iowa themed scenery and industries. The time period is 1945-1950, but I may allow it to go to 1945-1955. It will have no specific locale, but I may use station names of regional towns.
