My first layout was a freelanced UP. I love UP's big steam and those armour yellow diesels and passenger cars. I used to buy anything with UP on it. I think the owner of my local HS figured that out. Then along came George Selios and his magnificent Franklin and South Manchester. I knew my next layout would include a large urban setting so I went east and am freelancing my own railroad. I'm hanging on to the old UP stuff. I'm toying with the idea of a scenario in which my financially distressed railroad cannot afford to complete dieselization so as a temporary upgrade to their fleet, they lease steam pwer from more prosperous roads which are completing dieselization. It will give me an excuse to run my Northerns, Challengers, and Big Boys on my eastern seaboard layout. Sound plausible?

I want to start off on a new leaf. So naturally, the first people that I want to make ammends with will be the UP fans. So come on in and lets talk Union Pacific.
