Moscow is in southwestern Wisconsin, in Iowa County, more or less
between Blanchardville and Hollandale. But the railroad between those
two places (in the era of this group a branch of, I think, the
Milwaukee Road) bypassed Moscow. (Blanchardville and Hollandale are
on a branch of the Pecatonica River, but Moscow's up a side valley.)
Methinks one of your club members may be playing.

The CNW gondola is dead-on accurate

Dead-on accurate? Probably not, and we won't know for sure until

we

see the model's ends. If they follow the AAR recommended practice
drawings, they'll be pre-war Dreadnaught ends, whereas that C&NW 70

ton

cars and other postwar versions all had Improved Dreadnaught ends.
