THis might happen, or might not. okay, so now I'm going from New Bedford, MA to Portland, Maine (yeah, I keep going northward). The RR's name is the New Bedford Northern, era is 1989-present. layout is the middle of a branch line w/ the towns of Darkwater (fake), concord (real), bowscawen (real), and it continues on.

Building a protolanced industrial park layout
Sawyer, if your modeling 1989-Present, you should buy NREX 2500, ex WC 2500. She is a SD39Q that went through some heavy rebuilds on WC, and even more on CN. Untill she got sold to NREX. Great locomotive, she worked in Wausau industrys. Which is basicaly a big branch line.

Jordan, you have Skype?
Making a SD39Q would be easy.
Buy a Atlas WC SD35.
Buy some N scale "Flex Coil" truck side frames, aka SD38, SD40, and SD45 truck side frames.
Remove the SD35 truck side frames and attach the Flex Coil trucks.
It's that easy. Basicaly the only diffrence was the Trucks. You will also have to model the "Q-Tron" control. But that's an easy one too.

Let me rephrase that as a question from a different alex...
Jordan, I demand you to get skype!
Heh...
Sawyer- CSX is trying to rid themselves of their Eastern Massachusetts Trackage... You could essentially "take-over" what they operate around hollywood(lines south of Boston), but have the company based out of Maine. There is an abandoned right of way from Newburyport MA out to Portsmouth NH and ultimately Portland. You could secure trackage rights from MBTA down to Chelsea, where CSX runs to go to a Produce Company. From Chelsea you'd go south to their main yard outside Boston, where you can base all your Trains...

No Alex, I beg of you, don't BLIND ME with color. Have Mercy!!!
Sawyer, here is NREX 2500. Horriable Patch Job. They bought WC 2500 from CN a few weeks ago, just take her off your hands and put a nice Maroon Patch over the big white "NREX", and a nice gold patch over the big black patchs, and over the WC sheilds. Then in maroon have the name of your RR where the "Wisconsin Central" was...

Basicaly. Ex WC 2500, Exx FRV 2500, Nee SOU ?. After a major electrical fire on the WC, WC rebuild her with new Wiring, higher voltage Electrical cabinets, Flex Coil Trucks, Q-Tron Control, the whole works.
Pretty easy. I like the SD35. Of course, an SD35 has to be able to survive a 15-in. radius curve.
Just come make me, lol. Yeah, the 2500 sounds like a cool little project. GG, I'll research what you're talking about tommorow, watching Fool's Gold right now.
Here's a photo gallery of WC 2500. There's a Button on top, or close to the top of the page, it says "Next", and that's how you go to the next page. Sounds silly, but I didn't notice that at first. lol

GG, so that would be a main line along the Atlantic ocean from Boston-Portland, right? Sounds good, but how about a co. in upstate New york, that operates out of Albany, and goes to Troy, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Saratoga Springs, and goes to Pittsfield, MA. Yeah, I like that, an upstate New York line that goes through many mountains (important). and of course, I have Jean craighead george's books my side of the mountain and the followers.
this would be the branch's route: http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wl

Well, Atlas made a WC 2500 SD35, but that was in '05, so they've sold out. I think I'd make it from either an sP SD35 or a Southern (high hood, it looks cool) SD35. Of course, i have a faint idea of where to get the truck sides.
The Amsterdam-Albany, Saratoga-Albany, and Pittsfield-Albany are major routes of CP, and CSX.
There used to be a line from Pittsfield-North Adams. I suppose you could run from Pittsfield to North Adams, cut over parallel to the B&M Lines as far as Johnsonville, where you could take the abandoned B&M Line into Troy, and ultimately Albany.
If you wanted to you could absorb the Housatonic, gaining you access south of Pittsfield into Connecticut...
My msn is: xo_guilford_guy@hotmail.com, but I'd prefer aim(Ozz de Russe 617), or skype (masachistic santazzz).
