I wasn’t sure whether to vote for northeast or east, so I ended up voting for northeast. I specifically model central pennsylvania.
Although I have no layout, the BN in Minnesota.
I would say East Coast, though the argument could be made that central Maryland could be considered the Northeast. Once you get out of the Balto-Washington corridor, you’re in a whole nutha world!!! [:D]
Well now its interesting to see the Midwest getting alot of votes. However, i would bet that if you broke that down you might find much of the Midwest should be considered North(as per the choices alotted) You have Northeast and Northwest and North USA.
I guess i would consider Michigan ,Wisconsin ,Minnesota,Dakotas,Montana to be part of the Northern Midwest while Ohio,Indiana,illinois,Iowa,Nebraska,Wyoming,Missouri,Kansas etc to be midwest.
So, how many are actually modelling the northern Midwest of those who voted??
It includes some fine Railroads.
Among them the GN,NP,BN,BNSF,Milw,CB&Q,SOO,DW&P,DM&IR,CNW,Wisc Central and a Dozen or so others not counting terminal RR’s 
West–specifically California’s Central Valley, which is different from most Western landscape in that it is flat as a pancake. It is far from devoid of interesting rail activity, though–originally SVRR and CP, then SP, WP, CCT, PG&E and SN plus a little AT&SF, then UP and SP, and now just UP…
Tileguy, your right, I’d consider most of those states the midnorth as well. I kind of thought about that for a minute when making the poll, but I didn’t have enought room.

US northwest, specifically the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Nowhere else will you find both BN/BNSF and SP/UP as well as a variety of cool shortlines in one big, green, beautiful place.
Gee, I was surprised at the number of people who voted they model the Midwest. About a dozen or so years ago, when I got back into the hobby, I choose to model the old CB&Q in the midwest because it seemed everyone was modeling mountains out west and choose SF, UP or Pennsy for prototypes…at least judging by what I saw for sale in ads at the time. I considered all these things as cliche’s in the hobby and wanted to do something completely different. Hey, maybe I started a new trend and now everyone’s followed my lead…Ha! [:D]
I probably drive rivit counters bonkers.
Layout will have a continuous loop.
I will be primarily model the southeast U.S however, I’m including New Haven passenger equipment. Justification: My SCL passenger trains arriving (imaginarily, of course) in New York would have passengers transferring onto New Haven trains bound for Connecticut and points north.
u forgot my own little world inside my head but midwest
