I have-as of right now-about 4 more months to wait to have room for a layout, which is going to be based on the Q and Wabash in Hannibal, Missouri circa 1945-1950. I have a good basic 4'x8' track plan picked out that I plan to add a removable section and a small yard to. (This plan is one of the MR starter layout series, the "Alkali Central, which ran a few years back in the mid-90's.) Right now I can think of three good industries to model-Atlas Portland Cement Co, the icing deck in Hannibal, and the General Mills grain milling complex, along with a few fictional small industries. I have an A-B set of Burlington F-s, and plan to get a P2K steam switcher, as well as any Wabash steam or diesel loco that I'll have money for next year. I am going to set the layout's time in late summer/early fall, when the grain rush on Granger roads begins and anything that runs is pressed into service. For a layout so close to being built, I have very little rolling stock- one B.R.E.X. reefer with another being built, and an Illinois Terminal flatcar, halfway assembled. Than again, because of my tight budget, the layout probably won't be operational until early next year. Wish me luck on layout building, and my parents plan to get a digital camera sometime in the future, so when possible, I'll post pics of the progressing layout.[:D]
