When I wear my Ntrak hat (my home layout is HO) I model the NKP, IC, Rock Island and (of all things) the C&IM. I've got a masochistic buddy whose home layout is N scale, and based on the NKP, C&NW and Milwaukee, circa 1938!

I am modeling the Burlington Northern, prior to 1991, when the big GE's were still working Crawford Hill, and they still had the beacon lights on top. All in N scale.

Hey Boomer,
I am an old MoPac fan (thus the handle) and I used to model a freelanced town on MoPac's Sedalia Sub in West Central Mo in 1983 in N scale. I no longer model MoPac, but I grew up along the Sedalia Sub in the 70's and early 80's so it is still my first love. I collect some MoPac memorabelia, etc. It always good to hear from another fan.
