Alan enjoys modelling the paper industry in Wisconsin prior to CN’s purchase of the Wisconsin Central in 2004. His layout will be featured in Kalmbach’s 2023 edition of Model Railroad Planning. His layout that follows the Wisconsin River division of central Wisconsin. He'll demonstrate how he conducts operations at the different communities along his railroad.
Alan is well known by local model railroaders as past president of the NMRA’s Thousand Lakes Region. He earned his MMR in 2012. He was editor of The Fusee, the official publication of the TLR and held various leadership roles in the TLR’s Dakota Southeastern Division. He lives in Normal, Illinois, about two hours south of Chicago.
Alan holds regular group operating sessions twice a month, next month he will celebrate his 250th operating session on his model railroads, which includes layouts in South Dakota, Minnesota and Kansas. He also publishes a newsletter about his division, titled Prairie Ponderings.
The fun begins at 7:00PM on Friday, October 14 at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard. We will be holding our monthly model and photo displays, plus a 50/50 draw. If you wish to view the meeting via Zoom, email us at wmrc.trainclub@gmail.com and we will send you a link.
The gang's all here, and having lots of fun at one of Alan's operating sessions, which he conducts about twice a month.
