Where can I find out more infomation on Model Railroader’s. I thinking it was called the MT&T.

Don - There was at least one thread in the past month or two, to which I and other MR&T enthusiasts contributed, listing all of the MR articles dealing with the MR&T layout. Rather than listing all that material here again, perhaps it would be best to search the previous topic listing for a match. Failing that, do a search of MR’s magazine index, which should return quite a few articles. Unfortunately, nothing major has appeared regarding the layout as a whole in a long time.

by the way, MR&T stands for Milwaukee, Racine, and Troy.[^]

Way to go Jon!! Hmmmm…lets see…12 different articles on a specific layout or area that the layout was modeled after. That’s fairly comprehensive coverage. What is so cool about the MR&T? Could someone tell me?
For me what makes the MR&T so special is that it shows that the staff at MR practice what they preach.
Cheers,
