Which direction out of Montreal? You could run down south to White River Junction, where you could connect with the White River Southern.... Problem is that you'd have to take over someone else's line. I prefer for freelanced railroads to operate on branch lines or abandoned routes, rather than take over the main line of a real railroad. That's just me though.

SCORE!!!!!!!
just picked up a brand spanking new (well new when they come out) Walthers SP Jordan spreader, hobby shop had them for years and just recently put them on the shelf. they have a CSX and CNW still in stock
No problem, I'll check it out. The insperation for the Naming of the Minnesota, Illinois and Western and the Wisconsin Illinois and Northern came from the DME/ICE regional.
Ok, this is the LAST WIN locomotive for a while. It's a No DB SD40-2 from UP.
That should be the last, all the rest look basicaly the same as the one I just posted.
EDIT: How about Montreal, Ottawa and Southern, MOS.
Montreal, Mount Lauirer and Northern, MMLN.
Montreal, Quebec and Atlantic, MQA.
Montreal, Ottawa and Lake Huron, MOLH.
Montreal, Ottawa and Western, MOW.
Those are just a few I can piece from the map. For a better name, pick some major cities or interchange Points. I'm not sure exactly where your RR runs so...
That's better! I need to find a name for my shorline/regional, which runs south out of Montreal.
Something like:
Or something like that. I don't quite know.
Here's a link if you like to take some names from the map and make something interesting:

I would really appreciate it!
I changed it now. The "Silver" around the windows looked kinda of weird to me too. The sliver on my computer doesn't have the purplish tint to it any more. On my old IMW SD40s it does. I think it was because I stopped using my custom "silver".
BTW I made a Plain Jane WIN SD40-2. All of them look close to this. Except fo teh ones I post earlier. There are also two No DB SD40-2s in the Ex UP series that I still need to make.

I'm liking the WIN! (Well, to be honest, I wasn't crazy about the purple/pink, it grew on me, but now around the windows? Come on lol!)
Woot, go SD45. Can't wait to see the one that is getting painted. Post some pictures when she gets done.
Sweet, I need to go up there! lol.
Hey Sawyer, I was looking at your plan again. How are you going to interchange cars from one level to the next? From what you said it looks like you are going to do it by hand. My new layout I'm planning is going to have one helix, and will be able to expand.
Hehehe, WIN acquired another SD40-2; a Snoot nose from UP. They painted it in the Lemon lime Twist right away.
Hey are you guys getting annoyed of my locomotives I paint? I have been posting a lot lately.
ooooo yes, get more pictures of 6400. That's a SD40M-2.

...or if your like me you know how to cheat. It takes way to long to paint each little square, that takes me about 5 days to complete one locomotive (I've tried, and it's alot of staring at the computer screen). The way I do it, it only takes Ten Minutes. That's how I can wip out those locomotives pretty quick.
Also, get more pics of those HLCX locomotives. I know a guy that loves lease power, and the fact that that is a SD40....or would that be a SD40M-2? Those are rebuild SD45s that don't have there wings clipped yet.
Well I added a few more "painted" locomotive to ym roster.
WIN SD40 4000.
WIN SD40-2B 4200. The "Customer Service" locomotive.
WIN SD40-2 4201. This was an ex MILW unit. (Even though it doesn't say on the bottom, I'm saying it's ex MILW.)
WIN SD40-2 4205. this was the first Repainted ex UP SD40-2. This is also the only one that retains it's orginal nose bell.
These four locomotive swill be used on the transfers from Chicago stageing (East Stageing, it really doesn't start at chicago) and go to Random Lake/Minneapolis Stageing. (Again it really isn't Minneapolis, more like West stageing) From Minneapolis they will run up to Superior Stageing. (Again, not really Superior) Then they will make the long haul back to Chicago.
Yep CP is Detouring. This was the only train i got in Red Wing. Hey, atleast it had a SD40 leading!
Wikious, to tell the diffrent between a CP AC4400 and a ES44AC is to see if it has a Beaver on the side. If it has a Beaver, or Dual Flags it's most likely a AC4400. It if just has "Canadian Pacific" on the side it's an ES44AC. I Could go more in Depth about how to tell the difference between the two, but that's for Teen Railfan place. Sorry for dragging railfanning in here. lol.

Shakespeare? "It was better to love and to lose, then never to love at all..." LOL!!! Thanks, I still think they can get better.

Thanks, but I have a long way to go. Personaly, I never think my photos are good enough. It's eather cropping, or angle, and lighting. I never seem to enjoy my shots as much as I do with others.
I really appreciate the plan GG, but a 4x8 is not feasible for me. Takes up to much space. I think I'll be making room in my room for a small shelf layout:
Now for the piece-de-resistance: the big layout. dbl. decker, no helix (the lower level only interacts w/ the top level once [interchange]). Top level-Aiken-Darkwater line:
Lower level- Augusta & Southern's Augusta trackage
Sory I ain't posted in a while. I was at Furman University Football camp, and was so beat, I didn't want to check the forums. I won the long punt and long throw, and my team was the chamnpions. Welcome Brandon. BTW, railroadnut, I understand how your sister bugs you (I got two younger ones [and a little brother{I'm the oldest}])
