the Continental / Trans-Continental Connector, Layout Theme

[ezdays]

Since I am not a stickler on time frames I'll be able to run both modern and older style freight and passenger cars on my layout, and of course steam and diesels. I'm going to have lots of staging that will present any number of variations,...including a few European trains I've collected. Yes it won't be prototypical, but it will be fun. And I hope to get a considerable amount of industry in this space as well.

We think alike in that respect. I have no "era" that I'm modeling, nothing prototypical. Just model what you like and what looks good to you. The key word in what you said is, "fun".
