Thanks I did not know about that site, I will have to check it out! In the May 1998 Issue of MR they did a story on an n scale layout called "switching Chicago's north side" and once I saw that piece, I was hooked. I hadn't thought to go search for protoypical info on it. But since then, I...

Thanks! I guess in my case it's a bit ironic since I'm studying urban planning - you figure I'd hit the nail on the head the first time? lol

Neat thread - lots of cool vehicles! Here's a few of my 1:87 vehicles (crew cab is just waiting for a body. Other one is a chip truck waiting for a chipper) - Dan

Really neat layout! - Dan
