[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by locomotive10 Dear Captain. Hi, its Nicholas. I saw your website and I was amazed at how far you have gotten since I first visited. On your one color shot with the loco in the background, I saw that the colors went togeather. Well done. By the way. When you posted on my topic, stating roster, I saw that you said, please do not hate me for this. I have great news for you. I don't. When I read it I looked at my euro stuff (Stainz, 0-4-0, Two coaches, four freight cars, one cabbose) and saw that I was meant to model american and I sold it to some sucker in england over e-bay. I will be using theae and other funds I will collect to start construction on my line. Nicholas [/quote] Nicholas, Thnaks for the kind words. I have always like "American Trains" over the European one for the simple fact that I grew up with the American ones. The older stuff (i.e. Locomotives from the 1890's to 1950's) are the subjects of many old photos that my uncles whould show me of long ago family railroaders. It is a bias I cannot hide, one that makes me place Classic Era American Stream and early to modern American Diesels above bullet trains (Japanese and Continental) and some of the Pure European stuff (with there two "cute" little bumpers and small coaches). Now, Ian J. Brown has some really nice looking larger European and Far East stuff that I find impressive, but I think I want to model my area. As for the website... There will be a major update next week where I will consolidate older pages, pictures and captions as well asadd new ones. I'll have some more color images. I have purchased Bachmann's so-called "Mini-Mogul," of which I have issues with its size, albiet once I have bought a Bachmann 10th Ann. Ten-Wheeler, the Mini-Mogul will make a fine switch engine to compliment to larger unit. A few crude scratchbuilt structures will also be featured. I buil tthese out of things that could never survive outside, they shall have to be stored indoors and taken out for clear (realtive) day runnings. More will be said on that later... I am collecting material for the construction of the line (Aristo Curve Track and straight track for the main, LGB track for sidings and Aristo Switch Tracks...more likely the cheaper ones) and figures. The shop scene, what do you think of it? What does it lack? What will it need to meet everyone approval? Thanks Again, Capt Carrales
