Do any model fallen flags as if they still operated today.

I am researching the Texas and Pacific and L&N for possible future modeling, and currently have Southern rolling stock and locos.

I guess my answer would be "kinda sorta." While my prototype and era floats around the mid 60's to mid 70's, PRR, LV and CNJ, I did purchase an Athearn AC4400 specifically to decorate in what I think CNJ's scheme would be today.

as if they existed today?

I assume they gave up on diesels and reverted to steam...[:D]

I'm not even trying to model today, its when steam had its real heyday.

diesels...[xx(]

I am modeling the Southern Railway anywhere from the mid 70s to the present. I plan on having double stacks and autoracks along with the trains of the 70s and 80s. I will eventually get around to one of my favorite NS locomotives, the SD70M with flared radiators, in Southern paint. That is a long way off though.

John,

I model the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy as if it still existed … it is not unusual to see a steam powered passenger train pass a train with double stacks powered by a tunnel motor SD40T-2 on my layout.

After all, the hobby is about having fun, isn’t it?

Adding my two cents worth to dragonrigers thread gave me thoughts of going in a different direction with my layout.

I model Western Pacific and Southern Pacific in the 70 80 era. Now thinking of what if these roads still existed, what power would they use

Perhaps a shiney orange and silver Amtrack type locomotive pulling the Cal Zepher, Mac 80s. Never cared for the green and orange, even when I worked for WP. Just pondering, What do you think...John.
