I model the BNSF in Arizona.
The genral area of Winslow AZ.
There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.

I model Great Northern circa 1947 in the Cascades. My imaginary division point Cascade Yard is right where the actual Cascade Tunnel is. The towns for the locals to switch industries in are Scenic, Skykomish, and Wenatchee. The major sources/ destinations are Seattle,WA / Vancouver, B.C./ Portland, OR for Westbounds, Spokane, WA / Havre, OT and east (i.e. Minneapolis and Chicago) for Eastbounds. I will be doing TT/TW operations. (someday!)

I model the SP in parts of west Texas namely the route that traveled along highway 90 from El Paso to Houston. Some of it is a stretch from the Sanderson yard (where long trains were broke into two short trains to get them over the Texas mountain passes - (Del Norte and Van Horn ranges) - between Marathon and El Paso and another section modeled is between Del Rio on the US / Mexico border and San Antonio with a "wye" that goes to the Eagle Pass cutoff outside of Brackettville, I have plans to do a refinery and a shipyard in a Houston setting but that's later...a guy can only do so much in a day...

I'm modeling a fictional branch line serving the B&O in Western Maryland.
Life's too short to eat bad cake

My layout will represent the Western and Atlantic before and around the time of the Great Locomotive Chase. I intend to model some in depth scenes such as the Cooper Iron Works, the Kingston station, the Lacy Hotel etc.

I'm planning a layout set in the late '40s/early '50s depicting a portion of the L & N's "Hook and Eye", Atlanta Division in northwest GA that ran from Marietta, GA to Etowah, TN w/ a branch from Blue Ridge, GA to Murphy, NC. interchanging w/ the Southern's Murphy Branch (from Murphy, NC to Asheville, NC. This is known as the "Old Line" since it was overshadowed by a newer, much easier route that paralleled it also from Marietta to Etowah and onto Knoxville, TN and beyond. Taking some modeler's license, I'm depicting this route as a jointly owned (by the L&N and Southern), but independently operated shortline that had evolved into a heavily used bridge route, due to heavy traffic demands during WWII, from Asheville to Atlanta, relieving the strain on Southern's longer route thru Saluda grade in NC, thru SC to Atlanta, as well as an alternate route from Asheville to Knoxville via Blue Ridge and Etowah, for the Southern.
