Yeah. It's a short line called the LBSS&G (Lopsided, Backwards, Smeared, Smudged & Gouged). The name is dedicated to the many slip-ups I've made painting locomotives over the years. The LBSS&G paint scheme is Pennsylvania Brunswick green with a whole lot of grime and rust. The roster consists of three diesels: an Alco RSD-4, an Alco S-2, and a Baldwin VO-1000.

The Midland Pacific Railway, running from Golconda, CO to Yalta, CA. It's set in 1913 and is imagined as a more successful and longer version of the Colorado Midland, with an extension to the Pacific Coast, a la the WP. Motive power is transition, a lot of 4-6-0s and 2-8-0s, but with a solid overlay of new-for-1913 power - a lot like the D&RG!

What is its name, what are the colors:
Pine Ridge & North River Railroad (Regional - original from high school days)
Somewhere along the Colorado/New Mexico boarder.
Logo: three abstract pine trees
Freight dark green with gold-yellow arrow heads.
Passenger silver with dark green arrow heads.
Unfortunately a decked out caboose ended up looking like a crayon box.

Pikes Peak, Fossil Creek & Tesla (Industrial RR expanded to Shortline)
Services the Tesla Wireless Power company in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas.
Logo: An ammonite in a mountain with lightening bolts over the top.
Colors: tan & yellow. No standardized schemes developed yet.

Club:
Platte Valley & Western Railroad (class one)
Logo: oval with Buffalo or PV&W intertwined (like C&S) inside.
Freight Dark Green with white sash on bottom (like Southern, but swoop over nose is like IC).
Passenger Like freight only a second white sash on "window" panel. This makes the passenger cars look like MOPAC if you replace the blue with green.

Club Narrow Gauge
San Juan & Clear Creek
Logo: mountian stream with tree & deer.
colors - all steam black. The caboose are caboose red. stock cars black, box cars oxide, reefer's are white, gondolas and flats never got painted.

My own Waynesburg & Washington is a composite of a few locations on the real narrow-gauge W&W, which ran between those two towns in southwest PA. Even though it went out of business years ago, I model it as it would have existed during the late 1970s, but with standard-gauge equipment. I've applied for (and received) my modeler's license. W&W operations terminated in Waynesburg, PA. However, I've extended the line south to interchange with the Monogahela RR. The northern interchange is with the B&O in Washington. Engines are painted PC black, with W&W lettering in place of PC's. Frieght cars are PC green with W&W lettering.

Hi the trolley line on the layout is called the Heatherton&Scottsdale Radial Railway it runs city street cars and light intururbans between the fictional above named cities. It also runs some electric freight operations that interchange with CN/CP and the TH&B in southern ontario. Paint scheme for the streetcars and intururbans is pullman green bodies with TH&B creame doore and windows. Work equipment and steeple cabs black with silver end warning chevrons all numbers are silver railroad roman,no logo yet still wirking on that. Rob
