Kind of a noobie question here, but I just recently decided to get into model railroading. I am doing it under the pretense of a 'father-son' thing, but I think the wife knows it is really for me! My question is, how do you go about doing prototype modeling of a railroad that isn't around? How do you learn what engines they used? Can you buy that type and repaint and find stickers? What is involved in prototype? Engines? scenery? more? I am interested in the Richmond, Fredericksburg, & Potomac (RF&P) or the Alaskan RailRoad. Lived in and loved Fredericksburg and was raised in Alaska. Any hint on the whole modeling-a-railroad thing would help!! Thanks, Jim
