Ed asks
roto-lancing? Thats a new one on me.
--------------------------------------------------
Ed,There are several difinations of proto-lancing..
However..
"Proto-lancing" means you are modeling a prototype railroad in a free lance setting.That means you are not modeling any given area of the prototype you are modeling.This would include things such as a fictitious division or branch line.
This is not the same as modeling a freelance railroad which is completely fictitious-expect for the towns they may serve and some of those may be fictitious as well such as John Allen's G&D...A good example of freelance railroads would be the V&O,Utah Belt,the old Allegheny Midland,the Maumee Route.
All to sadly many gets confused when using these terms including some of the hobby's leading modelers.
