Hey Michael, I'm newer to S too, coming from 2 rail Oscale. My theme is similiar only I model the western slope of Colorado, above Glenwood Springs, north to Craig (Caribou) and my rails are in the dirt, as any shortline should be. I too love the Milwaukee and the Rock! Good luck with your project! Welcome to S scale, this is a terrific group of people!

I am new to the group and also new to S Scale. I am making the change from HO to S. I am a prototype modeler and model the late 70's to early 80's. I plan on doing the same in S. For now I don't have a great deal of room, however I do plan on building a industrial park type of layout that is freelanced, but based on Milwaukee Road practices (so no ballast or ties, LOL). I enjoy agricultural railroad structures, i.e. grain elevators, co-ops, etc. So that along with some warehouses will be the base of my revenue. My first S Scale project is going to be converting an American Models ACF 50' boxcar in Rock Island paint, into a FMC/SIECO 50' boxcar in Green Bay and Western. I will post pictures of this as I go along. I also plan on handlaying my track as well as scratch building most of the structures on the layout. I hope to be an active member of this group and look forward to helping move S Scale forward.
