Geneseo Railway

Bob Roegge's Geneseo Railway is a modelers masterpiece!

Bob has expanded his Geneseo Railway into the adjoining room and has added another town/switching area (Farr). Farr has three sidings serving Schramm's Farmers Exchange, Lloyd's Oil Co. and Bates Coal. Pictures show Schramm's and Lloyd's. The line to Farr climbs through some mountainous scenery for which he is in the process of making trees. Bob says he only needs about 100 more! The line ends at a new yard under the stairs so the layout is now point to point.

Abandoned Farm

Eric Gonzales - Missouri Valley Free-mo

Our Western Heritage Division modelers have been active during this COVID-19 Pandemic. Here is another example of some of the modeling that has been achieved over the last several months by members of our Division.
