Cityscapes To Model

Pieter from South Africa wants to model Chicago railroads and would like some advice from readers of cityscapes:

"I have had HO trains for 20 years, but due to my career taking up a lot of time, I did not spend a lot of time with the hobby. I have now resumed it. Since I am from South Africa, have mainly RSA stock. I am also still deciding on what eras and railways I should model. My first ever visit to the US at the beginning of September 2009, took me to the absolute amaizing city of Chicago, which I fell in love with immediately. Needless to say, that is what I want to model. I purchased a book on the history of the Chicago railways, but need some advice and articles on modeling city railroads and would appreciate any help I could get on modeling Chicago specifically. My space is reasonably limited, although that might change. Any advice for both limited space and unlimited will be appreciated"

One Response to Cityscapes To Model

    I was recently at a train show in Milwaukee Wisconsin
    and saw a manufactures display of the Chicago elevated train system along with high rise buildings, you should visit their web site. there name was Imagine That Laser Art Products. Their display was very impressive and realistic and I am sure it would work on either a large or small layout. Good luck on your return to enjoying model railroading.
