Roy,
I don't actually model the EBT, but my layout is strongly influenced by it,
and I do have models of some of the equipment lettered for my own Lehigh &
Western. My standard/3' interchange yard, currently under construction, at
Lehigh is dual gauge and has a coal washing/sizing plant, so it has some Mt.
Union influences. I even have a BTS kit (unfortunately currently unbuilt)
of EBT #6 to switch there. My model of Orbisonia station (built from the
BTS kit) will be at a division point yard with shops, etc. (think
Orbisonia).
Like you, I still have some stand-in hoppers built from HO cars that date
from before the BTS kits. And I still have some Chicago Express boxcar kits
to build, which again predate the BTS kits.
If I modeled only the EBT, I would have to model it in earlier times so I
could have more wooden equipment. I wanted a railroad that had both coal
and the wood industries. Actually today, the wood industries (logging,
lumber, tanneries using hemlock bark, wood chemical industry) are more
important to me than the coal. So I'm sort of modeling a hybrid of the EBT
and the Tionesta Valley. Actually, if I had to pick one railroad to model,
it would probably be the TV, but that would not be easy to do in Sn3.
Besides my freelance approach lets me include all the locomotives and
rolling stock that strikes my fancy, including that from the "western"
railroads. After all some of their equipment was built by Baldwin in
Philadelphia/Eddystone, Billmeyer & Small in York, and Jackson & Sharp in
Wilmington, Delaware.

Besides Lee Rainey and myself, is anyone else modeling the EBT in S?
