Hello Bill,
I’m following the progress on your railroad with lots of interest as I model the line between Great Falls to Shelby set in the Fall of 1979. Of particular interest is your approach to Montana scenery. Unless one is modeling the Rockies, there’s no one out there who has attempted to capture the vast open areas of Montana. I presently do not have a layout, but am working towards building freight cars, locomotives, and buildings appropriate for 1979.

Welcome to Great Northern Fan. This site documents my model railroad project and also serves as an outlet to share my collection of historical images of the Great Northern Railway and sister roads.
