Rehab My Railroad is a cherished series begun on Model Railroader Video Plus in the mid 2010s. Episodes feature Model Railroader staff surrounding an existing layout with their knowledge, wisdom, and skills to help the host modeler upgrade the model train layout’s features without tearing down or completely re-building the railroad.

The MR&T stands for Milwaukee, Racine & Troy and is the large-room layout built more than 20 years ago by Model Railroader staff and their friends. The HO scale layout hosts multiple revisions and updates each year to support feature articles in Model Railroader magazine or online at Trains.com.
