I'd like to set up a small layout in N scale modelling a western town. What type of trains ran out west in the late 1800's? I was thinking of Central Pacific and Union Pacific. I would like a passenger train and maybe a stock/cargo train. I want period cars but have no idea what models of engines or cars that I should be looking for. How can I find out about a specific period train and then actually find the period cars to match? I look on the internet but I must be looking in the wrong place. Also, will I have to scratchbuild all the houses of the town or is there a place I can find houses to buy or pattern after? Any help would be appreciated. <br /> <br />Any other websites that may have N scale western miniatures?
