Roger Nultons S Scale Monon

Roger's present layout has been under construction for 5 years and he estimates that it is 40 percent completed. Most of the scenery is roughed in, but only 15 percent of the building are completed. The layout features 200 feet of mainline track and about 90 turnouts. This layout was featured in the MRHTS Publication, The Hoosier Line, Volume 30, Number 3

The sleepy town of Ellettsville.

Bob Anson's Steam Locomotive #445

Some great work done by Bob Anson. This model started life as an O scale Boston & Maine steam locomotive. Bob made this model for one of his clients. He made all the decals in his home on his computer. Thanks Bob for sending these photos. I would love to see more of this locomotive.

Clay Stuckey's N Scale Layout

Some pictures of Clay Stuckey's quarry on his N scale layout.  You can't be hooked on Quarry research and not get hooked on the Monon down here. Thanks to Clay for sharing his photos with us.

Warren Dibbs HO Scale Layout

  These photos were taken on the HO layout of the Gold Coast Model Railway Workshop, the
   model railroad club I belong to in Queensland, Australia. The layout is largely Australian
  themed, there are spearate sections that have been built and scenicked for U.S., European
  and British modelers. The club's exhibition layout has the theme of "Uniting Nations." I am
  the only Monon fan in the club, but all our members are now aware of The Hoosier Line!
  The passenger shot was taken on the U.S. section, which occupies one side of the layout.

  This model is part of a layout under construction by Marcelo Szkatulak. Marcelo is a member of
  the MRHTS List Server and we look forward to him joining the Society. With two members in the
  United Kingdom, can we establish a European Chapter?

Left: Another shot of Marcelo's Monon BL2, #36. Right: BL2 and Lima Alco C420 pictured on the layout currently under construction. Keep up the good work Marcelo. Would you like to know more on Marcelo and see more of his work, check out the Small Layout Scrapbook.

Kameron Miller's Monon Scale Car #80020. Kameron made it from an article in Railroad Model Craftsman Magazine from October 1967 (His birthday month and the first issue of RMC that he bought) done by Jim Boyd on the Monon. I had no dimensions so I used things in the photo that had pretty standard dimensions to go by, being the coupler, trucks and wheel journals. The model is built from sheet styrene, with the only commercial parts being a set of Monts' decals, Detail Associates wire, Kadee Couplers, and a Wheel set from I forget who, Tichy Train Group? and spare stuff I had (brake wheel and air cylinder). The rivets are from a nail punch.

Okay. Talk about the ying and yang of modeling railroading. Here are some pictures of a Monon F3, built by Steve Stafford for operation on New Unionville And Western Railroad, Bloomington, Indiana. Many will recognize the 1/8 scale railroad of Pete Petigo and others. The model unfortunately was sold and is somewhere else.

Two new views of Steve's 1/8 scale Monon F3.

  One word describes this 1/8 scale Monon F3..beautiful.
