MSOE Society of Model Engineers: November 2002

I posted model train pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008. I never posted these pictures on my old website, but am including them now for completion.

I took these pictures of the HO-scale layout of the Society of Model Engineers at the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in November 2002. Not all of these pictures came out, but I am including them all here.

I have no idea where on the layout this Great Northern SW7 is sitting on the layout, but I assume it is in the Waukesha engine terminal.

Here is the steam-powered “Heritage Collection” passing through Midway.

This is a terrible picture of the wooden Southern Pacific caboose at the end of the “Heritage Collection” at Midway.

This is the “Nick Seidler Collection” at Midway, pulled by an Illinois Central C-Liner. This train was donated to the club by the Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Assistant Director of Student Activites, Nick Seidler.

This Citgo station is in Waukesha. There really are two Citgo stations near the tracks in Waukesha, so I made Citgo signs for this Walthers service station kit.

Here is an overhead view of downtown Waukesha, showing the Citgo station and other structures. The church was scratchbuilt by Burt Rosenweig in 1975.

I built this small house from a Life-Like General Store kit.
