Chicago Dearborn Station

Greetings,

My Wabash in N-scale is a LifeLike E8, 1 Concor smooth side RPO, 2 Model Power heavyweight coaches, 1 Rivarossi heavyweight diner, and a Kato Budd dome car. I got the N-scale Wabash rail graphics decals and since I am decent with an airbrush, I applied dark blue paint where needed and I am ready to apply the decals. Rivarossi heavyweight coaches would work also, but I didn’t have any of them at the time. I hope to get more domes as I get time but the Wabash is not the primary road on my layout. Kato’s smooth side dome is also a Wabash prototype in UP colors but I doubt I could find red Wabash decals. A future project may be to convert a heavyweight Model Power observation into a Wabash City of Lafayette or City of Wabash parlor observation. I have more priority right now on finding the consist a heavy baggage car and some car sides are about to come out for a smooth side pullman dome similar to the Rowa corrogated dome car. I currenly have Rapido couplers on my Wabash consist. Microtrains and Kato couplers are on my Rock Island trains.

Yahoo discussion groups has a good Wabash discussion group. You should look into it. I look at this site at least every other day. you can always leave a Wabash question here.

Happy railroading,

Bob Lipka

Sorry, haven’t been on the site in awhile. I have 36" by 24" copies of the actual track/building layout from the station to 21st st. including santa fe’s servicing facility. It’s actually 2 pieces, station to clark st, clark st to 21st.

I promise i’ll try and keep up to date on the messages. [B)]

I would like to buy a copy of the track/building layout.

Let me know how much and how you want me to pay for it.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

No charge; just send me an email at rtbsvrr59 -at- yahoo.com, and I’ll gladly email you a copy post haste!

You wouldn’t happen to be a member of the RRVD, would you? I was until I had to move three years ago!

Hi Ray,

Just tried to send a request for track plans to the email in your post and got a failure notice.

No, I’m not a member of RRVD, not familiar with it.

Thanks for the offer, look forward to the plans.
