G'day all from a brand spanking new CNW fan in Australia. With a two year old son addicted to Thomas the Tank Engine it was time to dig out my grandfather's old model rail gear (all English mind you) but after the recent Model Railway Expo here in Canberra, I really got the bug for American diesel freight, and after casting around a while I settled on the CNW. [:)] Our one and only stockist of model rail gear in town is having 20% off all stock all through April so I have started out with a Proto 2000 GP38-2, and a few bits and pieces in CNW/CStPM&O/MStL/UP liveries for it to haul. Might try and squeeze the funds for one more loco before the offer winds up. Any suggestions for a non-time specific theme? I've been looking for photos and info on general running of US freight operations as I really have no idea, so the post from daschilling about "foreign road" cars earlier in this thread was very helpful. No space for a real layout at the moment, but I'll use the time to study, learn, practice weathering etc so I'm good to go when the space presents itself. Great to find this forum. Some of the links posted here are great. Trev
