Jim: Could you send me an e-mail so I can get your e-mail address, I have a God-related e-mail I think you'd like to read, and maybe you'd know how to post it on the Coffee Shop.[:)] SNoah: You're at it again, it's snoahing as I type this.[;)] This long time without a layout is giving me a lot of thinking time... Now I've got another idea for a (freelanced) model railroad: The Dearborn & Midwestern, which will own the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, which with both still be owned by Ford Motor Co. to move the massive amounts of raw material and half-assembled products the company needs to move around the Midwest and Canada. The line will be a 6,000-10,000 mile road with mainlines between Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Milwaukee, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Cincinatti, Toledo, Omaha, Kansas City, Pittsburg, and Buffalo. It will also have a huge amount of dual trackage, and many interchanges with the CB&Q and/or Wabash. One of the reasons the road will be able to survive in the states dominated by the big eastern roads will be that it had trains (both freight and pass.) that run right through Chicago, and it moved freight very fast. It will be set between 1945 and the late 1950's, so I can have steam locomotives and F-units alongside early hood units. The road will also have quite a few FM's and Alcos, but some EMD products as well. [:D] Christopher
