My railroad name is the Bridan Valley & Western R.R., named after my two sons, Brian and Daniel. It is set in the summer of 1954 and features steam and early diesels. The location is the Midwest, where I grew up. (I now live in California) The Bridan Valley runs from Rockford, IL, through southwestern Wisconsin, crosses the Mississippi at Prairie du Chien, and ends in Souix City, IA. The modeled part is in Southwestern Wisconsin and consists of the fictional towns of Peyton, Danesville, Eriksburg, and Taylor Falls (my grandchildren). The railroad grants trackage rights to the Milwaukee Road and the Chicago & Northwestern. It basically handles bridge traffic between Rockford and cities in Iowa. The layout is on an around-the-wall shelf in an approx. 11 x 12 bedroom. I have solved my duck-under problem with a hinged lift-up span across the doorway and in front of the closet door. (works great!) Scenery is about 50%. I have just developed a car forwarding system using car card printed out with the ShipIt! computer software program. I am interested in knowing who else uses car-forwarding with car-cards, ala Tony Koester. My email is: jerryblomberg@lafn.org
