Whitch one is in your layout?
I am using UP, NS, CSX, and Amtrak
Had Chessie System, later switched to Wesern Maryland and Union Pacific on my layout.
- Conrail
- C&NW
- NS
- Guilford
- CP
- CN
Thats my list of favorites Conrail is still #1 in my book thoug
Wow!
I’m surprised that the Western Maryland even made the 1st list![:D]
I’ve got a feeling that the “other” catagory is going to get jumped on like a dog passing a flea circus!!
CP, SOO & D&H mainly but I have UP, WP, Conrail, NYC, Seaboard, C&NW, V&T, VIA, MEC, B&M & GATX locomotives as well.

UP, SP, ATSF, WP, Rio Grande, CB&Q, MoPAC and maybe even CNW and Frisco.
Guys,For me its C&O and Chessie(C&O)…However as I mention I will be buying some NS units in HO and N scale…I tired not to go modern but,I spend a lot of time watching NS trains and of course railfaning at Bellevue…So,I got to the point where I wanted some NS units plus those Athearn SD70s in NS did not help…[8D]…I also see a little of the old N&W and C&O in the NS as far as being a aggressive railroad…[:D]
Chessie first, of course, then
- B&O
- Western Maryland
- C&O
- Patapsco & Back River
with visiting units from - RF&P
- Southern
- N&W
- Conrail/Penn Central/PRR
- NY&SW
- P&LE
- and finally Burlington Northern
The Pennsylvania Railroad.
- BNSF
- ATSF
- BN
- Amtrak
- Rock Island
- Frisco
- MKT
Just a few of my favorites[:D]

Santa Fe
-
Union Pacific (as it was in the '50s)
-
Pennsylvannia
Thinking of also puting in North Western.
- BNSF
- UP
- BN
- NS?
i don’t really have a favorite. i just like the look of BNSF locos. UP because i see it all the time. BN because its part of BNSF. NS, just like the black locos and the logo. i kind of like GN, NP, CP also.
If I had to pick an absolute favorite, it would be the CLINCHFIELD RR.

Philadelphia and Reading.
You can get a hint from my signature line.
Other railroads which will be represented on my layout by interchange are PC, TP&W/ATSF, RI, CNW and IC…and possibly the Milwaukee Road.
Posting a new poll with a diferent selection of railroads.
I basically model the Milwaukee Road in the late 50’s. I also has some C&NW on the layout. I did attempt to do some ‘modern’ stuff about 10 years ago(my son was into Amtrak…). I have thought about doing the Great Northern in Minnesota about 1967(pre-Big Sky Blue), but my mind keeps wandering back to watching ‘pumkin orange’ GP9’s in the late 50’s/early 60’s. I sort of set a date of 1957/1959 as that was the last Milwaukee steam and the diesels were re-numbered soon after. My layout is ‘proto-freelanced’ on the Milw/C&NW in SW Wisconsin. I thought I might get tired of limiting myself to this narrow scope, but I have wound up upgrading my GP9’s from Athearn units to P2K, and now have added 5 sound equipped steamers over the past 2 years. I also have upgraded or replaced a lot of my old Athearn/MDC freight cars with better/more accurate ‘high end’ offerings from Intermountain/P2K/Red Caboose & Branchline. I even have started building freight cars again(from scratch). If I was modeling something ‘modern’, I would be all over the place, thinking about renumbering/mergers/paint schemes and trying to build something I just saw. Nothing wrong with that, but I am more into working on my layout these days.

You see my signature-BURLINGTON ROUTE!!!
Then it’s a huge tie between the NP, GN, NKP, Wabash, GM&O, and Rock Island.
Granger roads rule!!!
The Soo Line is my all time favorite, Followed by the WSOR, & CNW.
