"Everything for Everyone and Nothin for Ourselves"

[Anonymous]

Before we get started, I was extremely tired and bored when I made the Subject name.

So here we go.........

1.) Do any of you have a model railway based in or around Chicago? (Preferably N-Scale)

2.) Any of you have a Chessie System Layout? (N-Scale)

3.) Do you use airbrushes to paint and age you locomotives?

4.) Do any companies have models of the following:
SD 60 I, SD 70 I, F40-PHM (the metra loco)
And these ones in Chessie System Paint:
GP-30, SD-50

5.) Did Chessie run intermodal business?

6.) What CSX railways, (Chessie, B&O, C&O, Western Maryland, Seaboard Air Line, Seaboard Coast Line, Seaboard System, L&N, Family Lines) ran together.
For example.....
Ive seen trains with a CSX SD-whatever with a Seaboard System U-Boat.
Which railways have you seen on a single consist?

As you can probobly tell I am planning to model CSX shortly after it was formed.

Your Help is GREATLY Apreciatted.[:D]

#3 Yes I use an air brush. More for hte weathing side. I use india ink and rubbing alcohol to get it grimmy and dirty. I come back with a little rust-dust gently sprayed on with clear to seal the whole thing they look great. I have yet to try and paint the schemes of a modren engine however.

#1. I am just in the planning stages of my layout but mine will be generally based on the Chicago area, however it will be HO, but I might be of limited help. Check out these sites for N scale though:

http://www.palatinearea.info/nwn-trak/
They are both great groups for info and Destination Hobbies in Libertyville is probably worth a visit too. Very helpful place! Their website is: http://www.destinationtrains.com/

#2. No, sorry[:(]

#3 I hope to, but as I said I'm mostly in the planning stages until the basement is totally cleaned and finished.

#4 Ditto on what Jacktal said with the addition of Walthers makes an F40(even in metra scheme) for HO but I'm unsure about N.

#5 and #6 Don't know, but I'd ask these on the Trains Mag Forum too.

Was the subject line a loose reference to the new BNL album?[?]

Any way, hope this helps[8D]

It is not uncommon to see bought-out roads on a consist
together, especially when used by the new class 1 road that
purchased them. CSX corp. runs many fallen flags.
