My Columbus & Hocking Valley is something I wanted to do for years but,never got around to it till around 2003.
Why C&HV?
My Great Grandfather was a engineer on the C&HV and when I was a kid my dad had a O Scale (2 rail) HV 4-6-0 and I got hook on the HV.In 2003 I laid plans for a modern short line and decided on C&HV..
In retrospect..I do regret two things.. First those "Red Bird" Geeps-what was I thinking? and second the C&HV turned out to be bigger then I planed and now its time to downsize the C&HV back to my original plan of 2-3 Geeps with Railbox,Rail Gon and other lease cars for "home" cars..Maybe a new paint scheme?
