Slate Creek version 2. There is a era change in progress.. I recently picked up a Sunset Santa Fe 2-8-2 so, I have two Santa Fe steam engines and 34 KD 40' boxcars that I started collecting around 2000. I plan on adding several Accurail reefers, boxcars and gons.
The layout will be a protolance end of a branch line probably in Louisiana. I'm leaning toward a branch between Oakdale and Alexander Louisiana since Santa Fe went to Oakdale..
Why the change?
I started down an all steam layout starting back in 2000 and figure at my age (72) its now or never. I also waited on the price of United Santa Fe 1950 class to drop in price. I had one of those 2-8-0s back in the 60s and always regretted selling it.
