If you place a wager on whether a train will derail... is that considered off-track betting?

I finally got around to putting decals on my WSOR passenger fleet. The engines and cars are all made out of my medium of choice, LEGO. LEGO offers unique challenges that normal model railding does not. Photos avaliable on my brickshelf Page. I did the entire fleet, the E9 A-B-A set (only the 101 is powered), the bilevels, and all the passenger cars, Northern Pass, Northern Plains, City Of Horicon, City Of Janesville, City Of Milwaukee, Northern Nites, Northern View, The James M. Gardner, and The Stone Gardner.

Very cool! But looks like the word Railroad got a little bungled on the passenger cars...railroad is spelled "railraod" on the long stretches that say Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co. But still, really neat! Would love to see the train as a whole...

Yeah, I posted a little premature. Brickshelf is moderated so pictures have to be approved. They should be viewable now.

Oops, I'll have to reprint the decals and re apply them. I will post pics of the whole train when I get a chance, and find a big enough space to set it up. The whole train is like feet long.

Thanks for the comments.

Very cool! Might be worth setting up for a show someplace. A guy had a model of Miller Park at Train Time this year.

I have thought about that. I have reprinted thee decals to replace they typo, and also got my 2 GP38s and 1 MP15 decaled. I have to make some for the transfer caboose. I'm finishing the design for the RBLs and will order at least enought to do all the commemorative ones, 9 I bielive, and hopefully tonight I can get the design for the weed spayer train down. I still have to put the decals on my MOW trucks.

Maybe, if I can swing it, next year for the Mad City show would be a good place to display em. Afew years ago, I think I saw a guy who had some WSOR HO stuff on display as a stand alone thing. If I can get the Commemorative cars done in time, I'll realy look into displaying at Mad City, or even Trainfest.

Nice models! I would like to see a WSOR bandit MP15AC a minifig (Lego figure) of William Gardner and more WSOR rolling stock. Sargento perhaps?

The 1 MP15 I have is in WSOR colors, but decaled as the 1501. I'm contemplating a milwaukee Road heritage unit, especially since Mr. Gardner mentioned something about special paint schemes for the two unpainted MP's

I am going to order the parts for all the commemorative RBL's they have done, including the sargento car. I also am working on the weed sparying train, and I have already built the transfer caboose.

Last night, I finished redoing the typoed decals, and will take new pictures, and pictures of the other rolling stock I have soon.
