How It's Made N Scale La Crosse History

Here I talk about all the buildings on the layout,, their history, and why they're important both to La Crosse and to my family history. I also show how I scratch built many of the buildings and some of the details that I put into them. The buildings include Grand Crossing, the Depot, Heileman's Brewery, Breidel''s Butcher Shop, Hood Ice Cream (Les Proksch's Gas station), Trane, and others!

First-rate modeling, research, and presentation. The side by side photos are effective.

Nice work all around! I lived in LaX during most of the 90's, and this brings back a ton of pleasant memories. Thank you.
