Back to topic, I could use some late 90's to mid 2000 vehicles. I have lots of scenes to detail.
The list Jim posted looks interesting ( on another thread). I haven't on the ARF for a while. Actually, I haven't been on any forums for awhile!

Same here. While I don't really need anything train or structure wise, I need mainly post 2000's vehicles. I have never really looked that hard for them yet, so I don't know who makes the best selection of modern vehicles.

I think I will still continue to buy any new vehicle released that fits in with 1954 even thoufgh I do not need any.
Having a good variety of vehicles to pose makes model photography much more fun.

Living the dream.
Foe me i had been into modeling in HO scale for almost 30 years on and off. To me HO scale was the perfect compromise between detail and size given my avaliable space in which to build a layout. In the last 8 or 9 years my family and myself were sort of forced into a much smaller space to live....Actually we went from a 4 bedroom, 2.5 car garage house in the suburbs into a 3 bedroom mobile home in the country due to the plant i worked for selling out to a buyer overseas. Anyways, this is what got me into modeling N scale. Thinking i could still have a decent size layout just in a smaller space. I started with the 5'x9' Salt Lake Route layout that was featured in MRR Magazine back in 2000 or 2001 i think. After building that in one of the spare bedrooms i realized that it just wasnt exciting enough for me so i decided i was going to build a larger layout but still stick with N scale. I purchased a prebuilt 12'x20' gabled roof building and finished it with insulation, drywall, electrical etc. Now its been almost 2 years since i began building my "Dream" layout and i still have a long way to go. I find myself constantly running to my local hobby shop to either purchase something or ordering something. As for what i might need, well thats a long list. I have my benchwork built as well as the main lines laid but im still having trouble. My biggest mistake was rushing. I was never any good at drawing out a track plan to scale or even desigining a tracl plan that was operational so i purchased Anyrail to help. I ended up coming up with a plan that after many edits some of you actually said it looked alright. After many hours of working on it i find myself back at a stand still lol. Like i said, i rushed to get trains running without double checking everything and now i have a couple of spots that looked good on the plan but dont want to fit as they should. As i said, this is entorely my fault for getting in a hurry but like many of you, i love this hobby with a passion. For me a model railroad is a magical place. A place to go to get away and escape. Its magical and always has been for many reasons. In the years past i was always accused by my wife of wasting too much money on trains. She was correct, it is an addiction and i find myself weal when it comes to modelling. Now that im older i make wiser purchases but i still find myself picking up cars or cabooses etc. just because i dont have one like it. I will eventually get my railroad up and running but i find everyday that i go out into my train building that i need something. As for rolling stock i have 8 locomotives and roughly 30 to 40 various rolling stock. I have most of what industries i wanted on my layout although im considering adding more for more operational features. In hind site i wish i had stayed with HO scale due to me getting a little older and my eyes not being what they were 30 years ago but right now i have too much time and money invested in N scale to just give up. As some of you know, you have helped me a lot to get to this point in my layout and i always appreciate it.....As this journey continues i hope you guys will always have the patience with me that you have had up until now......Have a great day!
