Is there a parts list somewhere? Are there plans to convert it to N scale too. I'd like to try something like that!

How much did it cost to completely build the Milwaukee Beer Line (track, buildings, scenery)?

Great project layout. I'm continually impressed by how clever all of you are, especially David Popp. He's a great layout designer! His Naugatuck (sp?) Valley layout is also a masterful design. Looking at his original apartment track plan, you can see the potential for expansion that's built in. Awesome! Oh, my question: What kind of roller is Jim Hediger using to press down the track in Humboldt Yard and where did he get it from?

I enjoyed the operating video, manily because my rr is operated very close to the way the beer line operates. I have a shelf style layout in my garage. The shelf is 16" wide by 23 ft long.
Keep up the good work!
