 See online the second
edition of the "St. Louis Central"
model railroad the Gateway Division
designed and built for the
Missouri Historical Society as part of their
Winter 2002-2003 exhibit at the
History Museum on models and miniatures,
"Our World in Miniature."
This 4'x8' layout is built on a sheet
of 2" extruded foamboard supported by
1"x4" framework. It uses Atlas
Code 83 track and structures from a variety
of manufacturers. It is designed to have the
"look and feel" of 1950s era St.
Louis. Dozens of vehicles and hundreds of
figures and added details enhance the
various scenes on this model railroad. |
The exhibit at the Museum is
now closed, but you can always explore this
model train
 layout online with the dozens of
layout and structure photos we have
published on our website. Photos and
descriptions of all twenty-six major
structures on this layout are online (Buildings
1, Buildings
2, Buildings
3) along with a collection of views of
the completed layout. |
