Always Improvising
Hey folks. This week has been Fiesta Days in Montevideo, MN, and as such the town's MILW museum and model railroad club were wide open to be seen. I made a two-hour trip for this and I was not let down!
The model railroad club occupies a room about 25x15, and is sort of an HO scale folded dogbone with a branch line. The layout is DCC control and depicts the Montevideo, MN area in the 1950's dominated by the Milwaukee Road. I'm so used to a sea of BN Green and BNSF orange that seeing nothing but MILW gave me the biggest grin.
Unfortunately there was a larger group of people who came in behind me so I couldn't get many photos. It's a very cool, rural sort of layout. They currently only run it for show, but explained to me that they are interested in changing over to prototypical operation soon.
More photos of the club layout can be found on their website here https://www.montevideomrhc.org/ModelRailroad/index.html#
