| Scale: None | Last
presented: MER Raleigh 2005 |
| Description: Whether an armchair model railroader, in
the process of designing or building a dream layout, or have a fully
functional model railroad empire, model railroaders are always seeking
to better represent an actual area or the "look and feel" of an area.
My talk on Using Maps to Plan Layouts will provide you with the means
to obtain actual maps of towns and cities from the early 1900's through
the 1945&ndsah; 50 time frame. I will present information on what
these maps depict, how to obtain the maps for free, and how to then use
them in planning your layout. Sample maps from Hamlet, NC will show how
the railroad facilities in and around Hamlet developed over time. Come
and learn how to get better information to better plan and build your
layout. |
