My 3x5 models the interchange at Whitefield NH between the B&M and the MEC around 1949. That will let me use my 2-8-0 as well as the RS-2 I put on my Christmas/Birthday list.
The 10x10 I am working on will be a modern New England theme. Currently I am working on plans for both Pan-Am (ex B&M ex Guilford) in Seacoast NH including the Portsmouth Branch and plans to model the Vermont Railway (ex Washington County) between either White River Junction or Wells River and Newport VT.

I model C&O steam-diesel transition era with a date cutoff of Nov 1952 so I can run certain locomotives.

Check out the Deming Sub by clicking on the pics:
Modeling the Rio Grande Southern First District circa 1938-1946 in HOn3.
Current layout under construction will be Ma&Pa. I also have a WW&F Forney so I'm hoping to work in a little Maine 2ft track somewhere.
Enjoy

Rio Grande and SP steam during the WWII era. And since it is WWII and railroads were leasing locos from each other as traffic patterns occurred between the European and Pacific theatres, it also gives me a chance to run some 'borrowed' power from railroads like Colorado and Southern, GN and C&O. And yes, historically, some Eastern power showed up on Western rail lines during that time.

Tom View my layout photos! http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/mm310/TWhite-014/Rio%20Grande%20Yuba%20River%20Sub One can NEVER have too many Articulateds!
Just as my avatar suggests, "THE WOBBLY" Western Pacific, with a few of the power units and rolling stock that was frequently seen in their consists such as Burlington, BN, DRG&W, SP&S, Tidewater Southern. with a few other exchange loads coming in through the interchange yards. As this was that transition period of the 60s--70s. However the layout itself is freelanced 25% of it is mountainous and the rest is various landscaping but all associated with the northwest the exception being "no logging". This may change in the mountain landscaping but not in the railroad as far as I can see now.

Since I already had a couple of GRS-painted locos and unpainted locos that are GRS-specific, I decided to instead "proto-lance" a new parent who bought GRS from the current and turned it back into the B&M and MEC. So I'll have a rainbow fleet of B&M bluebirds, MEC green/gold, and GRS gray/orange. I also have some Conrail and P&W stuff I'm going to use as run-through power.
B&M 4 THE WIN!
Have any use for a B&M painted GP30?
