Old beat up shanty built from scratch and the plans were found in Model railroader...of course I modified a couple details. Let's keep up with the scratchbuilt stuff.

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).

Where did you get those decals? They were in one of the MR magazines, correct? I am asking this, because I just got an undecorated hopper, and figured I could turn one into a Turtle Creek hopper.  Besides, I do freelance in the Pennsylvania area, so it would not be that farfectched.

The Aurora & Portland is a fictional road of a friend from North Carolina. I always had an itchin' for an Alco C415, but the prototype roads I model never had one. So after aquiring on of the roads SW1500s to switch my concrete plant, I thought,"Why not" and did the C415 to share plant duties! 

My excuse is the plant is leasing them from the A&P!.

Show me some more freelanced stuff!

I'm going to assume the theme continues to be freelanced railroads.  

The Iron Belt is a fictional short line serving Clevland area steel mills, with trackage rights over some Class I railroads in the region.

Let's see some more freelanced railroads and/or equipment.

The Black River Valley Railroad is freelanced:

BRVRR #1116 and Caboose #1445 are the only examples of the home road's equipment.

How about another example of a freelanced road?
