<p>I don´t know where the OP is located, but I assume this to be somewhere outside of the US.</p> <p>Wild West, the way we in Europe understand it, is what we see in those good old western movies. There is no specific locatiion attached to it, thus it covers a vast area of anything west of Chicago all the way to the Californian Pacific shoreline.</p> <p>"Gun Smoke" and "Bonanza" aptly describe the atmosphere a European modeler aims to capture when building a Wild West layout.</p> <p>From a prototype point of view, the Virginia & Truckee RR with the landmark locos Inyo, Genoa, Reno and the rather odd looking Bowker seems to be the epitome of a "Wild West" railroad. Maybe because Rivarossi one marketed those locos.</p>
