Lance Mindheim’s Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville (Monon)

Allen Keller’s Great Model Railroads Volume 47
Lance Mindheim’s Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville is an N scale layout that was built for reliable operation. He created the Monon as a way to have full timetable and train order operations. The railroad is based on southern Indiana in 1955 with a perfect setting of hills, realistic creeks and winter grass and trees. He uses weathering to create and enhance details. Lance, a customer layout builder, will show you how to model a creek, paint a backdrop, make convincing grass and undergrowth and cast your own shale rip rap.
