Fell free to speak up. I prefer American frontier and modern American steam, to European versions (no offense). European trains, with their small coaches, two wheeled trucks and little bumpers have always seems more like being out of the realm of “fantasy” to me. I guess it is that “Old World” flavor. I have more of a preference for Large American steam, 4 wheeled trucks really industrial looking things. The image of an American 4-4-0 or Mogul 4-6-0, or even a Prairie 2-6-2, pulling a mixed consist through the desert, or mountains or into a frontier hamlet recalled more nostalgia than the Orient Express pulling into Istanbul. Please, don’t hate me for this.

Plans have made Phase one track, so , modern started.
