QUOTE: Originally posted by trainluver1 Now come on guys... We down here in the south don't run your railroads up there in the north down. This is my home down here and SP, UP, SF and BNSF are and have always been a part of our culture just as much as your railroads are a part of yours. A lot of people are bitter toward UP for buying everything up, but most of what they bought was in financial trouble in the first place (sorry SP but it's the truth). As for UP and SF being thought of as toys. That's because the toy makers chose to produce railroads that were the most well known and popular... Sorry if you think I'm being overly defensive, but you struck a nerve. trainluver1

QUOTE: It's looking more and more like what I want to do is going to be tough. The prelinary reports I'm getting is that the steam switchers are stalling in turnouts and I'm looking to build a switching intensive layout. Something has to give--and so far I don't like the compromises I'm coming up with.
