<p>Hello,</p><p>My wife and I have been investigating building a layout in our basement for the last few weeks. General information about DCC, basic layout design, and landscaping ideas are easy to find.</p><p>Finding information on rail roading, more specifically north eastern United States around 1900 is a lot more challanging. Even the local library only had books that focused on the American west, or Victorian England.</p><p>Are there other Model Railroaders who focus on this time period? Does anyone know of any good sites to visit? Wikipedia had info on locomotives, but what kind of cars would be common then? What kind of freight would they be carrying?</p><p> Thank you in advance.</p><p>Roy</p>
