Farewell to the Milwaukee, Racine & Troy | As hosted by Senior Editor Cody Grivno, this salute to Model Railroader magazine’s renowned MR&T (a.k.a “Myrt”) 28 x 54-foot model railroad (Mark II) in HO (1:87) scale, captured historic insights from several influential modelers with firsthand experience working on the treasured layout. Enjoy exclusive clips of the MR&T under construction; as it appeared in the final days of operation under Kalmbach Media ownership; and lastly, the very moment contractors felled the famous landmark on July 26, 2024.
As many fond memories continue to rise from the debris, please feel free to share your recollections in the Comments below and the Trains.com Forum. Even better, keep a watchful eye on the Trains.com Workshop Webcam as staffers make progress erecting the next iteration of a Milwaukee, Racine, & Troy-inspired layout!
