Peoria Railfest 2005 Model Entries:
Only three members produced entries for this
year's modeling contest, but each member did provide multiple models for
the rest of us to enjoy.
Overall winner in the contest was
Kleve Slouber
from New Lenox, IL. Kleve is also a member of the Will County
Model Railroad Association. His models included motive power,
freight cars and caboose.
Mike Wise from
St. Louis, MO presented several flat cars with various
Caterpillar-inspired loads in honor of this year's host city. His
other flat began as a Special Run Society car which now carries a
generator load.
Gene Glendinning showed the only non-HO Scale
model (which was also the only structure model). His other two entries
were of the HO Scale persuasion, both the only representations of steam
power and passenger equipment respectively.
For photos of all these entries, go to the
Members' Efforts page above. |
