Gee, those East End fellows who met a year ago today did so in the summer's sun, heat, humidity, and sweat. A day-long adventure took us to sights unseen by...

John if you look at the other sheds they are constructed with the same novelty siding. And they are small, not really any room to the side for a workbench area...
Doug-- As I recall the shed in the south yard at Oskaloosa, it was nothing more than enough to store the "putt putt car" as we called them back in the ancient...

I have MSTL Track Charts of 1909-1930 ,1965,1995 - The 1909 to 1930 would be the hardest to copy as it is in real long sheets. If interested let me know at...
In an ironic twist of fate, the Middle Grove to Peoria section of the MStL may find new life rather than abandonment! The Keokuk Junction Railway (a part of...

I believe I have suggested on several occasions that members of the MSL group might want to join the Peoria Rails Group, which David owns/moderates. While...
Yes Mr. Jordan is a good source of Peoria Railroads, including the M&StL. And we did enjoy meeting him last summer. Though I didn't recall it was Al's turn to...

I finally got around to checking out the 1/87 vehicles that one of our group (sorry, I forgot who) said are being sold at Wal-Mart. They are pretty decent for...

The selection does vary and checking out a few stores may help. That said, the selection of vehicles is modest. There are some 50's era chevy sedans, and...

I bought some of the military vehicles in the past too as these can be easily repainted, and used for a variety of purposes. Walmart is still stocking the...
