Modeling / C&E in O scale

« on: May 27, 2017, 09:08:08 PM »

Good evening,

Has anyone modeled the C&E, specifically the Kingsbury Street portion from Grand to Oak St in O Scale?  Going off of the scale drawings in the 1975 MR issue I would say it is at least 40 feet of layout...... just curious.

Looking through the 1995 Milwaukee Railroader again looking for inspiration and always wondered about the photo on page 13.  Show the Ogden Overpass and notes the building underneath the overpass as being integrated with the overpass.   Is this the Kirchmeiers building?   What was received or shipped from this location?

Thanks

Michael

Tom,

thank you for the quick response and the information.  I will be purchasing the Milwaukee Road in Chicago book and the other book as well. 

Thanks again

Hello all,

I am having a hard time understanding why maps of the C&E are so rare.  I mean we are in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the US and I would assume that there would have been a need for maps by the city of Chicago and that there would be a large number produced by the railroad as well.    I like what I see in the Milwaukee Railroader as well as in Model Railroader.   The maps in Milwaukee Railroader list companies at the locations but some of the captions name some companies that are not shown on the map.   The MR issues have generic maps or they are not complete, it cut off.

I believe both.  A couple definitely are linked to a Chicago Switching page and says not found.

Good evening,

Thanks for allowing me to become a member of this group.  I have been perusing the forum and looking through multiple postings regarding the Milw Road lines.   I found a few postings with links to maps or track plans of the various lines but many of the links are broken.  Are these saved somewhere else?

Thanks
