Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Zone 3 in La Crosse, WI

This module group built by Shane Lambert is based on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Zone 3 in La Crosse, WI. It will be built in at least 3 sections to incorporate as much of the area as I can. I hope to start on Phase 1 in early 2025 and have all three zones done by March, 2026. These modules will be built using Tomalco Flex Track and hand-built turnouts made using Fast Tracks jigs.

Street Running on Second Street

Phase 1 of the build will focus on the area along 2nd Street and feature street running. This module will be 15 feet long in 5 foot sections. This length was chosen to make the sections manageable but also fit the desired track plan. Construction of this phase is set to begin in early 2025.
