I model the northwest. This is the country I go into several times each summer to fly fish(great fishing!) and I love the grandeur of the area. Also, there are still old abandoned tracks through some unbelieveably stout terrain that one can walk along and take pictures of. The area east of Butte, MT has an abandoned rail line just north of I-90 that is visible from the highway. Most of the old track running east from Smelterville, ID is adjacent to I-90 and can be walked as well. The old bridges are still in place, the old tunnels have caved in, but the portals still stand. The cuts are large and awe-inspiring. The locating engineer on these lines overcame some monumental obstacles to create a railroad. It is impressive to me and it is what I try to model. <br /> <br />Tom
