<p>[quote user="trainfan1221"]Simple..I model what I do because I like modern railroading but want to get away with now aging and disappearing locos such as As SD40-2 types and so on. So I model a modern regional line which doesn't have to be inundated with all modern power, though I have that too. Plus I can run any type of train and don't have to act like I am trying to run a major system but can do a lot more than with a short line.[/quote]</p><p>That's pretty much what I model; my freelanced railroad runs from Springfield, MA, to Albany, NY. One of the main reasons I model a freelanced system is trainfan1221's reason, also, most of my motive power was either purchesed when I was much younger and just bought what I liked, or gifts from friends or family that didn't understand, example:UP dosn't use SDP35s anymore!</p><p>Oh well. I like this better anyway becouse I can make up trains instead of using the prototype's schedule.</p><p> </p>
