 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BRAKIE Guys,Regardless if you free lance your railroad name(NOT LAYOUT) it takes as much research has it does a real railroad if it is to be believable.. Guys if you say your railroad is say Kentucky Central and all I see on your layout is the L&N,then brother you are modeling the L&N.Period..Now if I look at your locomotives and see they are lettered for the KC then you are indeed free lancing a railroad.Now if you tell me you are modeling the KC division of the(say) L&N then I well agree with that.. I don't believe for one second that those that model a real railroad is any better then those that model a believable free lance railroad..I say again BOTH NEEDS TO BE RESEARCH IF THEY ARE TO BE BELIEVABLE PERIOD...Not shouting just trying to get the point across.[;)][:D] Now for those of you that free lance your layout name in order to run every road name under the sun then that is ok to.But please don't tell me you have a free lance railroad..I won't believe it for one second unless I see engines or cars lettered for that road name. [/quote] [}:)] I'm not in full agreement here, as I'm modelling circa 1959 most engines are just arriving from other railroads and my paint shop gang have been on strike for the past 6 months so the "new arrivals are still sporting their original colours. But don't worrying, once the trade dispute has been resolved Uncle Pete's smiling face will be the first to be painted over[:D] The imagination is not be put in a box!
