Guys,
I have decided to change the railroad I am going to model in S. I was
going to do the Milwaukee Road, however, I have finally realized that
even though I am a huge fan of the Milwaukee, it's not really where my
heart is. I was only 15 when the Milwaukee Road passed, and although I
remember riding my bike own to the yard to watch my dad work (he was a
conductor for them for 14 years), I never one time took a camera or took
notes. Conversely, when I started to work for the Wisconsin Central in
1990 and again in 1993 I took a lot of notes as well as kept almost
everything (except switch lists and work orders) that the railroad ever
gave us. I have kept a log from time to time detailing what engines I
ran. I have just found on dating from March of 1998. Also, my
railfanning days didn't really start until I started to work for the
WC. Well it's been over 10 years now since the WC has been gone, so I
figure it's time to model what I am most familiar with. I still run
some WC power (SW1500's) and still run on the same WC lines I have for
the past 19 1/2 years. So I am going to begin to design my layout based
on the Wisconsin Central in 1995 to 1998ish. I think I may just be the
1% of the 1%ers on this one. My AM GP9 will now be getting transformed
into one of the Ex-Algoma Central GP7's with the Chopped nose (WC
1501-WC 1508). I would love to hear what you think. I am going to be
going down to Des Plaines hobbies in a couple of weeks and plan on
picking up the shells and other parts I am going to need.
Thanks
