After looking at back issues, specifically 4/08 issue, decided on making a version of MR's WSOR Troy Branch layout. It will only be based on it, mostly the businesses. Plan to keep it in HO, but much much smaller and only 3 industries, maybe 4 if I can get them small. Wondering if anyone else has built it or built a layout based on Troy branch, or where I can get more info on it. I have the Part 4 issue where MR talks about the structures but it doesn't give enough info. I really do need more than a list of matierials and a quick overview of how it was glued and painted. I plan to at least order the 1/08 back issue where it goes over the track plan and operations, but I really need more info on track placement and building sizes. Need to know if I can keep it HO or if I will have to down size and make it N.
I plan to run it as a Wisconsin Central layout though. No pish posh intended towards MR or anything, it's just that I see quite a bit of old WC motive power running down the local CN rails by the apartment and in the yard so I've started to become pretty interested in WC.
Hi,

Have fun with your model railroad.
Thats a pretty neat video. Now i know why you guys love your jobs. What I'd give to work on a layout all day, day in, day out!
