My Future layout will be a room size(not yet determined).My era is late 1990's diesal era.Location...Hmmm,haven't really decided yet(most likely Ohio,Indiana,Michigan),but it will be "Industrial switching" with aspects of urban city,street running,etc.I decided to go freelance,which will include my own 2 Athearn genesis GP15-1's as my switching power,which will be decorated in my own custom painted scheme.I was going to go with CSX,but then i would have to go with light gray ballast on my track work,which i don't like(I like brown or black)Also i have always been attracted to diesel loco's with silver painted trucks and fuel tanks)i.e UP's Heritage paint schemes,so my GP15's will have the same silver painted trucks and fuel tanks.
Buildings will consist mainly of automotive parts suppliers,stamping plants,and a Transloading facility.Rolling stock will consist of mainly 50'&60"Hi-cube boxcars,Gondolas,Tankcars,Hoppers.Will be running a NCE Powercab DCC system,with multiple jacks.Switches will consist of #5 & #6 Peco Code 83 or 100,haven't deided yet,and will be controled with manual switches.And that's all i know so far.
