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.
West Avenue Branch
Phase 2 will focus on the area East of Heileman Brewery crossing West Avenue. This module is slightly longer. This phase will be 20 feet long in 5 foot sections. Construction of this phase is set to begin in late 2025.
