I am in SW Florida. Am collecting N scale and a few O scale items. I have a small "L" shaped layout over my desk, with a John Allen Timesaver in the center. I have walls full of N locos, specific trains and passenger consists. Originally from Michigan, on the major C&O line from detroit to Chicago, grew up in the 50's with gp7's and 9's, 3 to a train with 60 to 100 cars. Remember seeing lots of expired steam on the way to scrappers in Chicago in mid 50's. Interested in many fallen flag lines, and most of my collection dates to pre 1960. Busy work schedule, but anxious to discuss 40's & 50's era when possible. Thanks for reading, Denny PMBaba
Sounds like quite a collection you must have, given its vintage, and most definately a "room with a view." Lots of folks here that'll be happy to trade stories with you, hope you enjoy the ride!
