Just getting back into it after a 5-6 year break, and I have a bunch of Santa Fe, HO, mostly around the mid-50's to early 60's when there was a mix of zebra stripes and the 'new' blue & yellow paint schemes around. I'm broad enough about the era, though, that I can trot out some steam or early b&y warbonnets should the mood strike me. <br /> <br />Original layout was a 4x8 set in the prairie (as in, i was new at it and didn't do much with different grades :)). That's just about torn down now, to be replaced over the next several months with a new around-the-wall open girder layout (8'x9.5' space, give or take). The plan now is to 'move' the layout to the New Mexico area, so I can introduce some foothills, canyons, and a tunnel or two for the track to disappear into a hidden staging yard. And I may toss in a SP train or two with trackage rights for variety. <br /> <br />New purchases so far have been a mix of LHS and internet vendors, depending on what it is and if the LHS has what I want. Unfortunately, there's a lack of LHSs around me, and the ones I've been to recently tend to stock mostly East Coast rail road equipment, so I'll probably be doing most of my purchases over the internet when I need new locos or ATSF-specific rolling stock.
