What Era, Railroads, & Locomotives are you set on?

[train_guy]

I am modeling the modern era(2000-2012)Diesel locomotives in a Urban/Industrial setting,basically a switching layout like Lance Manheim,but in the Mid-west (St-Louis,Missouri).How-ever it will be Free-lanced with a culmination of different areas,along with some street running.I chose diesel cause i like that era over Steam.I didn't grow up in that era,so i really don't have a facination with it.I chose the modern era because of the modern diesels and their cool lookin' paint schemes as opposed to later years where every thing was painted "Black".And the fact that there is so much more variety in rolling stock for the modern era as opposed to later era's.

I will be modelling CSX(bright future paint sceme,and also some CN.I've grown up around CSX,CN,CP,NS,Conrail,so i have a tie so to speek with these railroads.
