Chicago & North Western, Winona, MN

This double track module set includes four 12 foot modules (3x 4 foot sections each) that are designed to work together to create a realistic representation of the Front Street tracks running from Main St. to Chestnut St and feature the large Bay State Milling plant. The double main line will be embedded in the Front St. brick pavement. Click Here to see a comparison of the proposed plan and the Sanborn maps.
