ILLINOIS CENTRAL 1954-55 Chicago - St Louis Memories in HO Scale !

[@jackoesterlejr.3454]

Very Nice! I was born & raised in Belleville,Illinois. Behind my high school was the Illinois Central Railroad tracks. I graduated in 1973 Belleville West.

The scenery is a real attention-getter; those cornfields, farm scene, motel, restaurant, engine service facilities.... Trains run smoothly - pays to keep the track clean. Classic Illinous Central Green Diamond with E6s. Glad your narration is loud. My hearing is terrible. Sometimes, even my hearing aid doesn't help on some vids I watch. You miss out on interesting and colorful info when you cannot hear.

Cool! Please keep in touch. My email is [e-mail]. I've done a lot of work on the layout since then and need to post an updated video. Take care, Tom

John Pitts painted one lounge car. Many of my other IC passenger cars were painted by Brian Strom. Thanks, Tom Biscan

Awesome layout !!! How did you make the corn field?

[@programmingchicago]

I could swear a lot of that looks like the work of John Pitts.

Beautiful layout. Thank you for the post. You can't find many layouts that model the IC. How big is it? What area do you model? Do you model the 1950's? When are you gonna do an updated clip of your layout? But please use a tripod. It make the presentation so much more enjoyable! Do you have a website with the trackplan and pictures of your layout? I especially like the passenger train operations on your layout. Those chocolate and orange matched consists were something. Thank you for the response to my many questions and thumbs up! Subscribe.
