[quote user="MadSinger"]I model HO scale MILW Road.  I model a branch line that was torn up in the '30's as if it wasn't torn up and was still around in the mid '60's.  That's called protolancing, right?  Anyway, I have just gotten started modeling and aren't all that good yet, but I'm having fun and improving, and that's good.[/quote] Just started modeling, and you've got a prototype of a realistic size (on a real railroad line!) and a time frame within 10 years? That's great! Many people spend years modeling a freelanced railroad stretching coast-to-coast, with an era stretching 30 years or more, buying everything that catches their eye. That's fine, but not exactly realistic IMHO...That's not dismissing freelancing or protolancing; I model a freelanced railroad operating on a real roadbed (the Boston & Maine's Northern Division between Concord, NH, and White River Junction, VT) that was abandoned in real life, but in my reality the state contracted a private owner (the White River Southern Railroad) to operate the line. Welcome! Do you have any photos of your work that you'd like to share? EDIT: I just missed a few pages there.... Nice work![quote user="ns3010"]Neither can I. Nevertheless, my band teacher wanted me to try out for the spring musical. It's Fiddler on the Roof. She said they'll take anyone who can hold a tune. Haha, yeah ok... [/quote] I was in Fiddler on the Roof at a local theater... I was Mordcha, the bartender...[:P]
