My railroad is the Tres Arboles Railroad which is based on the logging and backwoods railroads around the eastern part of the country during the early part of the century. It is mostly freelanced and the scale is On30.

My San Juan Southern "freelance" (To the max!) layout was inspired by the Rocky Mountain railroads of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The SJSRR layout is based on what little RR and prototype knowledge I have at any given time and which I hope will increase with time.[:I]

The time period is 1949 and the SJSRR serves regional mining and lumber industries and interchanges with the D&RGW which is the source of many of the necessities of life and commerce for the San Juan area.

We've got a handle on it now! [:p]

Hey Jim, That photo was on our X-mas cards last year ![(-D]

The inside said something like, "..Merry Christmas, some assembly required.." [:D]

Santa Fe in the 1950s to 1971. Say Okla Train Nut, are the AT&L and Farmrail still running. AT&L still in Watonga. Where is Farmrail if it is active. I saw one of their locos years ago in Enid.

All Lionel all the time.

Most of my stuff is Santa Fe, and includes locos and rolling stock from the 1940s, 50s, 70s to the present. I don't have a layout right now, but am planning to build one in the next few months - if all goes like I hope it will.

Obviously, my signature speaks for itself. I also have a freelance logging
operation-Three Lakes Timber Co.. This is a traffic source for the GN, and
it lets me own and operate geared steam, and other cool Northwest
prototypes. I have ste a rather wide era, stetching from 1947 to 1967-the
streamlined Empire Builder Era that also includes steam.

My Narrow Gauge is fictional, Oregon and Pacific Midlands, connecting a standard gauge line to a small town on the Oregon Coast. Standard gauge I model Southern Pacific and Nickel Plate Road., both in steam to early deisel era. My husband is a Norfolk and Western fan, recently bought a beautiful 4-8-4 'J' series. We are in O scale.
