Hey Ya'll <br /> <br />carpentermatt, I intend to build the railroad from Cades Code station (Gatlinburg in all sence) to Pigeon Forge (Just 10 miles away) There are no pictures of the stations, So I'll personalive Piko stations and Durnago Water Towers, and build reresentaitions of the preserved buildings and cabins in Cades Code. The railroad was 10-20 miles away from the ET&WNC railroad at the closet point, so I intend to buy some Bachmann ET&WNC equipment and make a fake document stating that the ET&WNC has trackage rights over the CC&PFRR (I made up that name until I can find out the name of the prototype. I have a spacious backyard, but a limited budget, So It'll work out nicley. I pln to have a nice trestle and 4% grdaes like the prototype. <br /> <br />It was a flimsey railroad that had 3 engines at the least 10 at the most. Thats good too, It is a narrow gauge and I plan to buy the following. <br /> <br />1. Bachmann ET&WNC Mountaineer Set <br />2. LGB Undecorated Mogul (When I get my job back) <br />3. Hartland D&RGW 4-4-0 (On loan from D&RGW) <br /> <br />I'll add more later. I only need a few more caoches and a handful of freght cars. I plan to get in to live steam. Dye to the steep grades, I'll add radio control (I've herd that works) <br />I have been promised a Ruby#1 for a graduation present as this is my last year at middle school and I would like to convert it to a Forney using a FH&PB forney conversion fit, or I'l try my luck without it. I plan to paint the rolling stock in the railroads name, but leave the ET&WNC stuff alone. The Hatland 4-4-0 will stay like it is, but most likley it will be painted to. <br /> <br />The Towns were not that big, so I am in luck as alot of the Piko and Pola kits look like buildings I saw in the book. I'll get back to you with more. <br /> <br />Nick
