This page is dedicated to my old Model Railroad club Midwest Railroad Modelers. This was my first exposure to prototype modeling. Not only was the physical railroad great but the people made all the difference as all of us worked for the common goal of modeling the prototype as close as we could with what we had. Things we would do "but not limited to" shaving off molded on grab irons, cutting off freight car ends, cutting apart a freight car and rebuilding it with styrene sides.
