I guess it will fall under freelance. it will not be on any particular era or line. It will consist of Michigan based companies, sites and so on... I like the look of newer diesel engines so I guess if it was to be a certain era, then it would be post mid 70's to present time. As to what exactly it will have on the layout. Ore mine, Small engine house, outter edge of a city, farm land a couple bridges over river(s). Basically most of what you would find in the UP of Michigan, but not exactly "correct" to the time or place, so I guess, yes, it will be freelance... I do not believe I will "operate" it like some of you do, but who knows. Id like it to be very functional. a working switching yard. As Ive stated in my other posts and in other threads. I have, I do not have an exact plan, and I think if I sat down and forced myself to do so, Id never finish it or Id end up with something Im not happy with. I do have the programs you listed for layout design.. I have played with them to figure out some of the limitations of track design. I will construct the layout of wood, plywood, most likely 1/2" to 3/4" and do most of the scenery with an extruded foam. Cork roadbed is planned, I have allready been experimenting on some old wood with track and cork to get an idea. Ken
