Would You Model Overseas Railroads?

I already do - I have "running" collections in both US-outline HO scale and German N (with a few oddball impulse-buy items like a couple of German HO scale freight cars). I also have a growing collection of British OO scale, though this is mainly older models bought to build a collection (I have Airfix, Mainline, and Replica stock, slowly adding more of all three brands). I also tend to buy occasional Hornby or Bachmann OO scale items on impulse, though as yet I have no suitable layout for running them. <br /> <br />I would definitely recommend the Bachmann OO scale diesel locos to anyone - their Class 37 has working lights, DCC socket, mesh fan grille with seperate fan, and loads of other details for a very reasonable price. The new Hornby Class 50 also looks very nice - not bought one yet myself, but it's supposedly almost silent-running and has a few neat features like opening cab doors and a rotating radiator fan (driven from the motor by a rubber band). <br /> <br />P.S. I'm a little unconvinced by the stories of GG1s running in the UK - they wouldn't fit into our loading gauge for a start, and the "Class 50" designation was used for a English-Electric built diesel-electric loco (this is the one recently modelled by Hornby). Good joke though!
