the Western Maryland Flavor-Aid

but i'm not, i'm modeling WM in the Connellsville area.

[Slapping forehead] Thank Gosh!

Actually, since the modern WM and most of the WP were created by Gould's dream of a transcon, why not model both?  You could have a session running trains on the WM and then have a session running the same trains on the WP.  Leave the tracks the same and just have interchangeable scenery.

I see possibilities......

Okay, I gotta ask...

Was there a Waffle House in Connellsville?

[hnipper]

There are two in Washington PA - a mere 45 miles away. Don't know if they do carryout.

Steve,

You want a challenge?  I've thought more than once about doing the Colorado Midland circa 1905, from Leadville to Aspen by way if Hagermann Pass, Hell Gate, and Basalt.  In N scale.  There was a surprising amount of traffic on the line then, to include passenger trains.  It wasn't until the USRA re-routed traffic off the line in 1917 or so that the rails grew quiet.  I would love to see someone do it in N.

I thought Steve's challenge was finishing a layout?

Steve,

I don't know your extended history nor do I care to, but in the years I've been on Railwire you've proposed numerous layouts and even broken ground on a few but none have come to fruition. Perhaps you should consider a different decision making or communication strategy? Maybe allow yourself time to make a decision and let it stick before you go winging it out into the clouds, or present a layout in photos in a more complete state than we have seen so far because, at this point, you're the boy who cried wolf. But don't feel bad, I think I'm chicken little.

my history in model railroading pre-dates my involvement in N scale and this forum.  i stopped work on the Ntrak module because i am no longer a member of an Ntrak club.

part of the fun of the hobby for me includes researching and developing plans - why aren't you telling Bernie to build one of the layouts in his book - seriously - he researched and planned out those layouts and hasn't built one - what a l0z3r.   :
