In May and June MR they rebuild a small stream / canyon. Was there an original article on building it? When? How were the rocks done?
Thanks
Sky Cowboy,
The original article was started,somewhere in the mid,2010’s…It was started by the Modelrailroader Staff,as Their project,railroad…Up wards of 13, episodes…It was called,‘‘Building The Milwaukee,Racine&Troy’’…
If you are a subscriber,you can view them all…
Cheers,

Maybe, but I don’t think so. In his “from the editor” piece in the June issue Neil Besougloff says that previous MR staff members built the river canyon in the 1990s.
I can’t find anything on the rocks but there is a “modeling water” in the MR&T canyon in the March 1982 issue (page 98-99).
Looks like the bulk of the MR&T construction articles were in the 1980s. After that it seems mostly that it is specific one-off stuff.
I do take that back about none about rocks… I found an article “MR&T gets a Quarry” that discusses how to use rock molds. It isn’t a canyon but… September 1996, page 70.
That may be true about the original,start date… But it was built by the Modelrailroader staff,as a project layout… A lot of the new Idea’s,that are seen and quarry’s and such,are being done,on the,Milwaukee,Racine &Troy Layout…I looked it up and viewed some of the new scenes,that were or are being done to it…Take a look at the,MR, article in the May and June issue,it will tell you in the first paragraph,what they are doing with the water treatment to the canyon,on the MR&T…

Having been a reader of MR since 1965, I can assure you that the MR&T was not built as a project layout. It was, and is, the Kalmbach employees’ club layout. Parts of it actually predate its current location. Many articles have been written over the years about different projects associated with the layout, but the layout itself was not a project layout.
