I prefer to model shortlines and regionals. For me class one's are a little bland. I find the plethora of similiar modern units (usually only one or two types are used for most trains) quite dull. I prefer the oddball, older and worn equipment that can be found on the shortlines and regionals. Often times the equipment used on shortlines and regionals are painted in various paint schemes thanks to it being bought used and their lack of capital to repaint. The facilities and yards that are used by these railroads are usually a fraction the size of many class one's. I feel that I can come closer to modeling these types of railroads more faithfully due to this. I also enjoy the slower paced action. If I had the space to model, I think incorporating a junction with a class one would be great. In this manner one could add even more variety in locomotive power and operations.
