Ken, <br /> Try doing what I'm doing. I call it ""What if?" modeling. Take a "fallen flag" railroad, maybe one that went to your home town, and model it as if it was still in operation. It could be a short line that had gotten swallowed up by a major player, then abandoned. It gives you the opertunity to run what loco's, and equipment you want, your own paint schemes. I won't worry about a paticular area to model, or industry, you can convey the area thru names and signs around your town. As you get more confident in your modeling then you can try the "nuts and bolts". What I found out doing this model was the research into the history of the area was just as fun as the modeling. <br />Good luck in your endevor!
