Im looking into the transition period!!! <br /> <br />I have a feeling this is going to be a very interesting Railroad! I do want prototypical! I Love operations and prototypical scenes..... Im thinking About modeling the Southern Railroad... during the trasition period... Im going to model Spencer NC for sure and run some C&O and pensy throught it... Just for some thing different..... <br /> <br />But here is where it would get interesting! Spencer looks just about the same now as it did... say 40 to 50 yrs ago.... The only real difference is there is a shopping center across the street. (there are some other things too,.. not many) But I really think It will work I can take Spencer and make it my Main Yard And model all points north (hypothetically speaking)... and go through my home town of Winston Salem... alot of it is still very old too... the reason im pointing this out that there are some old areas in both of these places is because if I model one era and use older structures and things.. then a modern era can run through it and still look prototypical...... All i would do is switch out a few buildings and cars and the scene would fit! I would do this for say... club meets and such..... <br /> <br />OH MAN NOW IM TOTALLY INVOLVED LOL.... this will be a fun project for me and my future wife...... <br /> <br />on a side note,.. I am lucky in another since, the person who got me started in railroading my grandpa is still around and is a huge fan of the Southern Rail Road, he doesn't have a southern engine though so Im gonna get him one for his birthday i september,... this Idea I have come up with in the last night and this morning, will be a neat surprise for him.... I hope that he will be encouraged to come to the house and operate with us..... He hasn't ran a train in a long time! This is gonna be a very good thing,.. It should bring us all a little closer, and it will be some thing that will teach the kids the way things used to be! and maybe get them back on earth and out of mainstream mayhem, <br /> <br />Im looking to have something operational by Fall of this year!! I don't know if this is possible but Im gonna try..... I hope to have some pics soon! Thanks for the kind Compliments guys... My Fianc'e is one in a million and Im extreemly lucky... it's hard to believe She is mine..... <br /> <br />As far as Divorce goes.... well unfortunatley it is a very real threat in todays society.... My father has been through 3 marrages. and is In his fourth.... I have been through 2 marriges with him...... so I do understand divorce and why it happens me and my Fianc'e have been dating seriously for 3 yrs in september.... and are waiting for life to begin before we settle down.... She is one of these people that will be hard to get rid of.... I doubt she would leave me either lol..... <br />But if it did come to that I WOULD HIDE THE LOCOMOTIVE!!!!!! LOL
