Build the Milwaukee Road Beer Line - list of track?
Posted by hepkat63 on Friday, May 23, 2014 8:52 PM

Hi All,

just getting back into Model Railroading (again...) and thinking that the Milwaukee Road Beer Line would be a nice way to do it.  I have the Model Railroader CD with all the back issues and fortunately, the Jan to May 2009 were on there (cool !!) so have printed out the article series.  I also have the online videos.  However, what I need to know is the the track list for the layout itself.  I see that they used atlas sectional track, but none of the articles mention the track shopping list.  I wonder if anyone (maybe whom has built this layout already) can help me with track requirements.

regards

steve

Look at the plan, all turnouts are PECO Code 83USA #5 or #6 turouts as indicated by small numbers next to each turnout, except for one PECO Code 100 Curved Turnout and two ATLAS Code 83 Snap-Switches.  Track is ATLAS code 83 flex.  No sectional track.

 

The layout was built in sections for easy transportation and to allow set up in different configurations.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
