Freelance Modeling.

[e-paw]

OK, OK . Enough about what color is what This is a thread about modeling, FREELANCE modeling that is. Here is my approach-----------
I tried to blend different elements of several New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania area railroads into my own. I took real locations and a plausible rout while planning my layout. The SH&D or Anna lines interchanges with real railroads at locations that were hosted by those railroads such as the CNJ at Easton and Allentown, the LNE at Stockertown, the Reading at Tamaqua, and the D&H at Catawissa to name a few. I try to create a believable atmosphere and a signature look that looks like it could have been. I do like to model prototype equipment as well as shown here.-----

And I use some of those ideas in my freelance modeling.

And by the way even the name Susquehanna, Hudson, and Delaware (SH&D) fits right into the aria, describing the three major Rivers that the line serves and crosses.
