Welcome to history! I am modelling 1905 in HO, freelance branchline in WV coal country or somewhere in the eastern App. Mountains, sort of. There was an article in MR this year (Jan or Feb) of someone who is modelling this era. There is the STMFC yahoo group, also. Generally, most of the equipment will need to be built, but there are sources for cars. Again, everything depends on your standards. Myself, I am willing to take a "close enough" approach as I will prefer operation to contest quality. That said, here are some manufactures that have equipment I will use: MDC Roundhouse has passenger cars, Tichy, Ye old Huff an Puff and Westerfield has freight, IHC has inexpensive engines. I have found that my biggest obstacle has been my knowledge of what was available and distinguishing the differences on the models. My paln is to get a base goup of cars then go for accuracy. You can contact me through my website: http://modelrr.adbyrne.us Allen
