Six.... regions that is; I guess I have that collector gene. Because I have more equipment than could be practical. I recently hit 400 because of tax refund check and Greenburg show. Therefore I have divided int6o six regions. In my world NYC and PRR are still independent. Some PC thrown in. Central of NJ, Erie, Erie Lackawanna, Delaware & Hudson, Reading, Atlantic Coast Line all become the "East". I like BN with GN mixed in. I have N&W mixed with Southern and NS like it's a short time after the merger. Finally CP, NP, UP and SP all become the "Pacific". I think the plusses of this system are: each region gets assigned an industry and a corresponding car type. Therefore, BN has grain storage and consequently, covered hoppers. PRR is my coal carrier. NYC is TOFC etc. I like to rotate the roads through the year. Two months at a time and thus I don't get tired and bored of one set. I also concentrate on the industry and scenery of the current road and match region to season. A wild scheme but works for me.
