I like to model the modern day loco's and cars as well as going back to the 50's and earlier days too . My railroad is in my back yard in a typical new subdivision. It's only 75' wide and about 40' to 45' long . I used all 20' dia. curves and my only two switches are #6's . I plan on adding another in the spring for a industrial siding and it too will be a #6. I want to get a few more 5 platform articulated cars over the winter . In my old days of HO I did alot of weathering with pastel chalk oversprayed with a dullcoat clear. I plan to give all my rolling stock and loco fleet a weathering job over the winter. I hope to have pictures soon of my 4-6-6-4 challenger going around . My friend has one of these also in UP and 8 USA passenger cars in UP . Some day soon hopefully he'll bring his stuff over and we can get pic's of that too . The 4-6-6-4 looks nice going around but it still hangs over too much to me. Can't wait till spring to start working outside again as I still have a lot of dirt to move and a water feature to build.
