Ben, There are a fair amount of Milwaukee fans or modelers who
interchange with the Milwaukee Road. Interestingly, the historical
group has a very large membership roster and well attended yearly meets
plus a modelers meet around the Milwaukee, Wis area.
Equipment-wise steam era stuff would have to be mostly stand-in stuff.
The AM steam engines don't come too close, but the Milwaukee had a taste
of most brands of diesels and many models of those except for the
exotics. Passenger equipment is probably the hardest to deal with
because the Milwaukee made most of their own cars, and cars like the PS
full length domes weren't common to other RR's. Of course our big coup
was the rib-sided cabooses from River Raisin. A AM RS-3, or SHS SW-1, a
dozen assorted freight cars plus a dedicated caboose and anybody car run
a branchline train through the weeds! Some tomalco code 70 rail laid in
a fairly sloppy manner would be just fine as long as you don't forget
weeds but do forgo the ballast!
