N SCALE LAYOUT UPDATE: Scenic area update

[@cbirailroad]

Maybe I missed it early on, Peter, but what sparked your affection for Chicago? Having grown up on the great south side myself, I really appreciate the effort and realism you are putting into your layout. Ron

Ah, thank you, Ron! I've spent a lot of time in the Chicagoland area over the past two decades on railfanning trips as I used to use United to fly over from the UK and always flew into Chicago. My first layout was based on Rochelle, IL, and now on Chicago as I seemed to have collected quite a few Metra coaches and locomotives and with my love of BNSF, the Racetrack between Chicago and Aurora made sense! Just love that line and the unique architecture of the stations and the neighbourhoods.
