Good Morning everyone, I am new to the hobby and am in the planning stages of my first layout. I have chosen N scale because I can pack alot of activity in a relatively small space. My layout will be loosely based on the layout in the book "The N Scale Model Railroad That Grows With You." I want to utilize both steam and diesel power, and am looking at the late '40's to early 50's in the mountainous Western U.S. I'm not modelling any particular prototype railroad. I just wanted to get a sense of what loco's were running at that time (I'm not familiar with ral history), and get your recomendations as to which models would be appropriate and that people have had success with. I would like to have locos that I can eventually upgrade to DCC if (when?) I choose to expand and grow into the hobby. Thank you for any feedback you can offer. Adam
