Paying Tribute - A Salute to the West!
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 7, 2003 11:46 AM
With mergers and overtakings, its hard to remember what got Union Pacific or Burlington Northern , prior BNSF, were it is today. I have planed a layout to salute the railroads of the west and northwest. I plan to build the layout when
I am 21 years old with more exprince than I have now. The railroads I have chosen are the following: Northern Pacific, SouthernPacific, Western Pacific, and the Denver & Rio Grande. I also plan to include the Chicago Burlington & Quincy. The theme of the layout is 1950's passenger trains over west and northwestern scenery, a Colorado look,.
There will be no designated towns or states, just a western 1950's layout.
I wanted to preserve the western apeal of railroading and this is the best way I could do this. [:)]

Bryan, it's good to have ambition and it looks like you have it. :)

But... Where is the Great Northern?
