Guys,For me its C&O and Chessie(C&O)..However as I mention I will be buying some NS units in HO and N scale..I tired not to go modern but,I spend a lot of time watching NS trains and of course railfaning at Bellevue...So,I got to the point where I wanted some NS units plus those Athearn SD70s in NS did not help..[8D]..I also see a little of the old N&W and C&O in the NS as far as being a aggressive railroad..[:D]

Wow!
I'm surprised that the Western Maryland even made the 1st list![:D]
I've got a feeling that the "other" catagory is going to get jumped on like a dog passing a flea circus!!
