All Western, but focus on SP, UP, and Santa Fe with some D&RGW thrown in from the late 50's and early '60's. I am in the process of building scenery right now on a layout of about 90 square feet. It's split down the middle with a masonite backdrop of different scenes on either side and tunnels connecting each side. It's HO scale and will be called "The Great Southwest & Pacific Railroad". It's not just a model train but a museum room of railroad pictures and artifacts collected over the last 40 years.

I buy some from train stores when traveling (I'm in sales), but lately have been ordering on line from catalogs and have had good success so far with what has arrived in the mail.

Living just 4 miles from the main line of the BNSF and UP Mojave lines above Cajon Pass makes it kinda fun too.
