I'd have to say "ditto" to what 4884BigBoy said. I liked the transition era steam units that UP was running (FEF's, Challengers and Big Boys) and decided that I would build my railroad empire around those units. I haven't yet built my layout, but I am planning to model the west, although not a specific location. I am planning to run the above mentioned units, so Sherman Hill would be the most accurate prototype to model. Having never actually been there, though, I am planning a more generic western US layout with mostly UP consists. Since I am particularly interested in the transition era, I am planning to run late steam and early diesel units on my layout, both freight and passenger. With the design of the layout that I have come up with, though, it could easily be Tehachapi, CA, since I will be building a loop like that in Tehachapi. Anyhow, since the terrain is freelanced, I suppose I could just call it "anywhere I want it to be!" <br /> <br />-Joe
