What Railroad or Railroads do you model

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)
1

I model AT&SF, KCS, UP, NH,SP,NP, D&RGW, & Southern. What railroad or railroads do you model?

2

I model Santa Fe.

3

I freelance so that i can model anything that I want.

4

The Louisville & Nashville (L&N) in 1978-80 era so I can run all the Alcos I want.

5

Generic Division of the Lamoille Valley. I also model B&M…

6

That is quite an odd mish-mash of road names. How exactly do you model them? Do you mean you model a specific train from each one? It obviously can’t be shared scenery esp. with the NH and Southern in the mix.

7

I don’t “model” any road in particular. My layout is the model. Otherwise I just run trains as the spirit moves me… My steam era roads are Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Rio Grande, Union Pacific, Nickel Plate Road and Norfolk & Western. My diesel roads are Union Pacific, CSX, Santa Fe (before the BNSF merger), Southern Pacific/Cotton Belt and Amtrak.

My layout plan is freelanced. I have locos from those RR’s. I forgot to add the Nickel Plate Road.

9

The BN in 1972, so I can run NP,GN,CB&Q and freshly painted BN units.And early Amtrak with various road passenger car consists.

I model a merger of the Erie and Milwaukee Railroads . Erie cause it went thru my hometown,Milwaukee because I like Western scenery. Joe

I model CSX in modern day.

Given the location and era:

  • Japan National Railways - right down to the prototype timetable.
  • Kiso Forest Railway (762mm gauge logging line) under the name Kashimoto Rintetsu.
  • Kurobe Railway (762mm, supports a major hydroelectric project and carries tourists) under the name Harukawa Dentetsu.
  • Tomikawa Valley Railway - freelance roughly based on coal carrying JNR branches in Fukuoka-ken, with rolling stock never seen anywhere in Japan or elsewhere.

You need to define ‘model’. To model something is to try to represent it in miniature. You are ‘modeling’ different railroads that never ever exsisted near each other, hence you cant model them all.

I personally model CP Rail Systems in 1995 in Vancouver.

My railroad is an indoor large scale freelanced narrow gauge logging/industrial line set around the early 1900s.

15

MKT (Katy)…& CB&Q (Burlington Route)…pre BN…1964-1970…in Eastern Missouri

16

I model CN, CP, VIA and GO. I’m not modeling any particular era so you will find anything from steam to SD90MAC’s running at the same time.

17

Freelancing here.

18

I model logging operations in northern Michigan (haven’t decided on a name yet, it’s still under construction).

19

Freelancer, here. I model modern day, but I want to use diesels from the transition era, 70s, 80s. Might wind up having some modern day (SD70s) hauling coal drags or something.

NYC in the transition era…autumn setting…with the 20th Century Limited…
