I run my own roadname - the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.

I heard someone else was using that for awhile, and I'm thinking of suing the company which they merged into, for trademark infringement.....


You should just charge them licensing fees for every locomotive or car on which they paint the letter "B" (which did come from the "Burlington" in your CB&Q, after all).

The Midland Pacific - a combination of the old Colorado Midland (extended, as the real one never was, to Salt Lake City) and the Western Pacific. I'm building the first layout now, and it's going to represent the small triangle formed by Leadville, Wild Horse, and Arkansas Junction, circa 1913.

On my HO scale Tree farm, where else[;)]

Actually I pick them up from the LHS. I'll provide details later as I'll have to look up the numbers in the catalogue.

Tennessee Central. Nashville. Totally ficticious.

Serves Indianapolis to New Orleans and east to Knoxville. Heavy international traffic via Port of New Orleans.
