Thanks for the input guys. Gives me hope!
I thought I had put the era and road. I had written a much longer post and accidentally hit back and lost it all!!
The era is the present. The road is the Ft. Worth and Western (FWWR). They have great pics on their site, http://fwwr.net/
Power would be a GP 50 since Athearn now makes them in the FWWR scheme. http://www.athearn.com/Products/Default....D=ATH77839
I'd need open gondolas and tank cars mostly. Once I decide on what to make the industry on the bump produce, I'll figure out what type of cars. I'm kind of thinking like a hardwood and door supply house. I have a neat all door plywood car that would logically be at a business like that. It could also receive bulkhead flats and centerbeams of lumber.
I'm looking to getting this thing going. I really only work on the layout around this time of year, but maybe now I'll be motivated to keep at it.
thanks!
