Are "pure" free lanced model railroads dead?

I don't think they're dead. I currently model a fictious prototype, which I call the Thomasville Railroad Company. If it were real, it would have territory throughout Pittsburgh, the rest of Pennsylvania, and parts of West Virginia, Virginia, New York State, and Ohio. <br /> <br />I am satisfied with my decision no matter which way I look at it. My fictious road interchanges with the Pennsylvania near Thomasville (where the road's offices are located), in Traxington off the Coal Fork Branch, the Baltimore and Ohio at Summit, Pa, and the Virginian and Ohio off the same line near Coal Gap, WV. Unlike the Pennsy whose steam locomotives were retired inj the early 50's, my road's steam continues and will run until 1965 and Passenger Service continues to run smoothly and turn a profit. <br /> <br />Despite this, due to lack of room, I am restricted to 3' X 5' right now, but as soon as I get the room (Or a building of my own) I will have quite a bit of my empire built. But I guess that has to wait until the distant future. <br /> <br />To Mr. Sperandeo: I do have a question for you: How do I submit an article for publication in Model Railroader? <br /> <br />Tom Pearce <br />Modeling the Thomasville Railroad Coal Fork Branch, Circa Spring of 1952.
