The latest issue of RMC features an HO layout supposedly based on the Kingsbury Line aka C&E Line in Chicago in the Chicago Terminal era. It's full of nicely done street trackage but it does not resemble any of the actual industries or settings that CTM served. The author is clear that they were not going for a full-on prototype model but instead wanted to capture the feel of the former CTM operations.
The layout was built by a newly reconstituted model railroad club at Illinois Tech formerly known as the Illinois Institute of Technology.
