Wesolowski's models have been exhibited at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry,[2] the Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln Home Site,[3] the West Chicago City Museum, the Batavia Depot Museum, and the National Railroad Museum.[4]
One of his more noted works is a model of Abraham Lincoln's funeral train. This model took 4½ years to build and is 15 feet (4½ meters) long.[3] Wesolowski appeared on an episode of Tracks Ahead featuring this train and his model of Lincoln's home.[5]
Wesolowski has written scores of articles and four books on model building.[6] He has been featured in videos shown on PBS television.[7] Good Morning America selected and showed part of one tape as an example of video education.[8]
Bob Hundman of Mainline Modeler Magazine noted that "He's always leading those of us who like scratchbuilding down new roads. He's a very inventive modeler."[9]
Wesolowski holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Arizona and lectures there.[6]
