I am changing the era on the future Milwaukee Road layout and having go through the current time as if the Milwaukee Road never went bankrupt,and rebuilt all of it's equipment,cabooses will still run on the layout and the color scheme will remain the same.

Freight car fleet is almost done,should be done by this weekend,t will total no more than 90 cars.I will have 5 bay window cabooses,6 SD40-2's and 4 MP15AC's for a total of 12 engines on the layout so I can use everything I get in the future on the layout.No final track plan yet,soon I hope will...

I am looking to add another pair of the griswold crossing signals with gates with the "A" frame gate arms from Signalogic.Hope to have the freight car fleet figured out sometime today or tomorrow.

I'll second that.The layout looks terrific.

That is correct,they are also along the Missouri River near De Soto Bend in Iowa,Council Bluffs up to Sioux City.I'll post the updated track plan when it's finished.

That's all I have seen so far also.

I like the switch stands too.I will post the track plan as soon as it is done.

I hope Athearn brings back the Blue box kits for the ex Roundhouse items,i enjoyed putting then together,and they too were easy to build and looked great.

Rob,I too like the Athearn Blue box kits,they are very easy to put together.

I thought so too,since they are regular visitors every year along the river,there are even some nests along the river.

I am going to have 3 or 4 of these perched in the trees along the Mississippi River on my layout,working on finishing the freight car fleet for my future layout.I am also using the Milwaukee Road chevron switch stands on the layout for the industries on the entrance to the yard.

Getting the freight car fleet worked out,hopefully that will be done in a day or two.Haven't got any of the cars yet,just figuring out the number of cars I will need for the layout.Looks like around the same amount I said earlier.The searchlight signals will look something like this photo from...

Miles,That will be great,I can't wait to see the track plan.I will need space for the motive power and cabooses.I'm sure I will figure out what to do with the industrial spurs,it will give the layout plenty of operation including mainline running.

Right now I have my motive power figured out and the bay window caboose fleet figured out,now I am putting together my freight car fleet I want,no more than 80-85 cars on the layout.

Jake,The layout is coming along nicely,great work.

Tetter,The layout looks great!I like your use of hand laid track,that takes a lot of patience to lay hand laid track.

Steven,I think most of us are in that same boat as you.Hopefully things will turn around so we can all afford these products and others.

Steven,about $250.00 for everything.That includes the signals with gates,and all the detection to make them work.The linkage and switch machine is also included.Kevin is his name and he will build any type crossing signal with gate that you want.All the searchlight signals and crossing signals...

Steven,Yes they will work.The gates will go up and down and the searchlight signals will change colors from green to res and then yellow and back to green.The signal system for the block signals and the grade crossing signals will work just like the prototype.ABS or CTC signaling for the block...

I have my searchlight signal and grade crossing signals and the detection systems worked out,I am going with Signalogic for everything.They plan on having everything available this summer or fall.All the signals are to scale.I have attached what they will kind of look like.The pictures are not...
