Take a virtual tour of MMR Lester Breuer’s Minneapolis and Northland Railroad

Master Model Railroader Lester Breuer will take us on a virtual layout hop via Zoom of his Minneapolis and Northland Railroad, which is located at his home in Plymouth, Minnesota.  

Lester has modelled 50 scenes throughout his layout harkening back to 1955 that tell stories in themselves. You will see railroad workers, industry workers working or on break, people having fun, people enjoying their hobbies such as gardening and even rail fans. Lester will provide background as to why he created these scenes.

The fun starts on Friday, March 8 at 7:30PM at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard. We'll be holding our usual model and photo displays, a 50/50 draw and the canteen will be open. Guests are always warmly welcomed!
 

Richard Mikolayenko builds a cold storage warehouse

Long time WMRC member and prolific modeller Richard Mikolayenko submitted this model of a cold storage warehouse to the clubs monthly model display at our February meeting.

Richard modified a Walthers N scale kit. The second floor was added and the windows, roof, trim and vents were painted. A scratch-built roof sign was added, the foundation was raised to accommodate the entry of a low box car and lights were applied at the roof level.
