Winona Sub - Stockton Hill

Note: This is a work in progress. Check back often for updates. Last updated on September 29th, 2024.

I am hoping that space will allow me to model the Stockton Hill along the outside, slowly climbing to the third level and the ending in a staging yard representing Rochester, MN. I want to model as many of the bridges that plagued this hill with washouts and derailments. There are many arch bridges that would eventually replace the wooden trestles.

Scouting Trip

I am planning a scouting trip later this year to get photos of it in the fall colors. Since I plan to model October, 1980 something, I want some reference photos for colors. I have always loved the look of the C&NW Yellow and Green locomotives passing by the fall colors of Minnesota.
