My Missabe layout

[KevinKrey]

I got into modeling quite a few years ago with a train set for Christmas. I would always take a family vacation to Duluth MN. every summer, where I first saw the DMIR on one of these trips and became very interested. I gave a few attempts at layouts, and ultimately built a 4x12 layout with a 4x3 leg on one side. It wasnt real prototypical of any rr. I no more than completed it and realized it wasnt what I wanted. I am now working on the scenery of my 9'x20' DMIR layout, which is still waiting on an ore dock extension. I need to dig up a few of the old pics, but here are a few, and Ill try to post more later of the progress. Actually I cant find the pics. Ill get some up tommorow. Sorry.

Agree the Missabe was/is one of the most interesting small Railroads around.
