I model Conrail in N scale. I have about 30 Conrail locos and at least 90 Conrail freight cars with a few other roads and private owners mixed in. I do have several CSX locos and occasionally mix them in. My pasenger fleet is all New York Central, with several loco's, RDC's and passenger cars. Before Conrail was bought up they used to mix in BNSF, UP, CSX, CN and other units from leasing companies so I can realisticly use some of these roads along with the CR units on my trains.

Do you try to stick with one railroad or do you mix it up.  When I started I figured I would get what engine or rolling stock floated my boat but now  I am trying to make more of an effort to stick with CSX trains and rolling stock that is either CSX or of a railroad they incorporated/took over (such as Chessie).  Not to say that I wont branch out but if I do it would be only two or three other railroads, at the most. 

Just curious what folks do since it seems that more people take effort of an era not an area.
