my starter engine??
Cheetah: Have you decided on what era you want to model? What minimum radius turns you will be able to use? What railroad you may want to model? These are all things that will determine what locomotives and rolling stock you will want to buy. Just picking a loco from whats on Ebay or on sale may not get you where you want to go.
If you're referring to the numbered era system (I to V), that's used only in continental Europe. In North America, without nationalized railroads, different companies ran the same equipment at different times.ok...actually...while we are on that topic about 'ERA' ....
do any of you know a site where they list the N scale trains and their "eras" (years in running) ???????.....Yes.....I am searching now myself...
I'd also stay away from the "Undecorated"-- it literally means that, an unpainted car. Probably will be gray or black plastic.
Since CSX was formed around the time of the end of caboose laws, very few cabooses received CSX paint, as far as I know. Thus, it might be hard to find a model of one, unless there's some "fantasy scheme" around.I would get a matching CSX caboose to go with the locomotive. I am interpreting your list as including a Rock Island caboose.
Yes, it is your railroad...
