No category for proto-freelance, which is what I do.
The proto part of the layout is the fallen flag, CB&Q, and I try to follow what they did somewhat accurately (I hope!), in 1969. The freelance part is their fictional Illiniwek River Branch which is supposed to represent a rural branch line in north central Illinois.
I proto/freelance as well. I model a short line called the Cedar Branch and Western. The [bow] Missouri Pacific Railroad [bow] has run through rights as they connect on each end of my short line.
This way I can have my freelance and prototype railroad both! [:D]
don’t model anything in particular,but try to use old time steam as a subject matter. forums and gen. discussion talks about our EK&BJ RR
I am running Great Northern in the Washington Cascades circa late 1940’s. I have a 14 car Empire Builder with 2 E-7’s and a 55 plus car mixed freight with 4 unit FT’s. Dang that’s a lot of trees! johncolley tholcapn sailnrail Port Townsend, WA
