Heileman Brewery

Heileman Brewery

Planning
This module represents the G. Heileman Brewery and surrounding industries in La Crosse, WI. The module set will be 24 feet long consisting of eight 4 foot modules. I had to get a little creative with the modules to get the scene to fit, turning 4 modules on the long end. The track plan follows what what was in use in the 1960's. To get everything into the width I had to reverse a couple of tracks.

Proposed Track Plan

Note this image is missing a piece of track, but rest assured this will be a full run through module.

This is a modern track layout, but it has most of what I want to capture. To fit in the 2 foot width, I had to reverse a couple of tracks.
