That was when I embarked on building the World's Greatest Layout instead of something I could handle, like the Iowa Central
Had I known what the future held, SHABBONA could have been IOWA CENTRAL, and the locomotives could have had a pseudo-Rock Island red and black color scheme instead of the pseudo-Santa Fe zebra stripes. Another thing that hit me like a speeding ice ball to the side of the head in a school yard snowball war when I was knee deep in locomotive zebra striping was ICRR's simple "Black Beauty" locomotive scheme. Nonetheless, I'm over the hump on those things, and I like the way they have turned out.
