I love the old "WOBBLY", Western Pacific. I suppose thats a little strange for a Canadian, but this interest started years ago when Lionel came out with their "Rides like a feather" silver box car. Since then I have read lots of history and facts on the WP. and it has been able to hold my interest. I model in HO and use mostly WP equipment with a little DRG&W, SP, NP, and UP thrown in to make use of an interchange yard. The layout is 13ft. by 17ft in a basement room my wife has agreed is my territory. It is around the wall with a center penninsula and a hidden staging yard in a storage room at one end of the layout. It is a combination of some appropriate areas but mainly fictisious. I'm mainly into good operating and having fun without getting to hung up on copying in detail the Portola yards etc. I believe to do that properly takes a lot more room than what I have plus many other frustrations that it could lead to. So I just go with what feels right and some standard railroad procedures for things in the right places and this gives me my satisfaction.. TO EACH THEIR OWN IN THIS HOBBY AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT THE GREATEST HOBBY IN THE WORLD. Now go lay some track boy ! ! ! !
