  Anyone Model NS, CSX  or CR in G Scale ? If you do please post some photos of your trains.. I have a large HO scale railroad in my basement but I'm bored with it, and think of selling what I have to go out doors with the trains ..

I checked out your website and thought it was pritty cool . I liked the scenes at the fuel racks and such . You wont get board with running trains outside , it's just like the real thing . I was into HO for many years and it was enjoyable for me , however once I got my first G scale locomotive I was hooked . There are a lot of models painted for CSX , NS and Conrail available . I own a GP-38-2 painted in CSX colors and here is a picture of it .

I sort of model Conrail. My railroad is a regional that was once a wholly owned subsidary of Lehigh Valley and was spun off by Conrail in the 1970s. I run lots of Conrail and pre-conrail engines.

Mike-those are incredible photos of your RR-the "scenery" is some of the best to scale and realistic I have ever seen-show us some more and how you did it

    No, but I'd really love some G Scale CSX engines.  They are so beautiful.

Armour yello and harbor mist gray are more my colors, but NS is a pretty good line too.
