It’s true that boxcars with every possible roadname could plausibly be traveling on your railroad. They can ship out of anywhere and be delivered anywhere.

About the Presenter

Don Winn lives in San Antonio where he is the Youth Chair and the At-Large director for the Lone Star Region. Don is modeling the Burlington Route (CB&Q) as it was in his hometown of Aurora, IL in 1966. The benchwork and the track are all in, along with a little bit of scenery. His focus is presently on kitbashing and scratchbuilding the many structures he needs to fill the scenes. Don is a firm believer in the AP program and recognizes that the program has been very valuable in improving his modeling skills. Don earned his MMR certificate in 2023, and is always willing to help and encourage others to work towards that goal.
