"At one time I was a stickler on modeling one road be it freelance or prototype..Today I am buying stuff I always wanted by didn't fit my modeling style-like a Santa Fe passenger train."
To add to my initial post...The southwestern setting was also chosen to be able to run a SF Super Chief...As a kid, I recall going to Mexico City's RR Station to pick up my mother who was returning from New Mexico where she had been visiting some friends, and returned via the "Aguila Azteca" . That train was painted exactly as the SF Super Chief. I recall waiting at the station tracks watching this behemoth of a train looming ever closer 'till it stopped a few feet short of the track's end, where I was standing.
