My layout setting is the Adirondack Mountains and is loosely based on the logging roads that snaked through the woods on the early 1900s. In addition, the NYC & the D&H served the area, so I expect there to be prototypical equipment from those roads appearing. But everything else is fairly freelanced though based on much reading, field trips along right-of-ways and discussions with another modeler interested in the Grasse River RR. (Hi, Silver.) The great part of RR research up here in the mountains is hiking and mountain biking along the abandoned wilderness rows. Logging and mining left a lot of the Adirondacks in rather desolate conditions. Clear-cutting for lumber and charcoal, as well as massive, often locomotive-ignited fires that burned many hundreds of thousands of acres left a somewhat barren landscape. I suspect that historically, the area my model represents would have been much less attractive than what I prefer to portray. Wayne
