Nice Rosters Gentlemen,

I would model the GBW or WC if not for the MIGN/TSBY.
For the GBW, probably the Wisconsin Rapids area, the WC- Wausau Area.

If I had to choose......GBW - I like their Alco's.

Hopefully you put your rosters to good use.

Bill

I can see why your proud of your collection. It seems like you have their entire roster in miniature.

In real railroading it's the other way around...two Dash 9's replace three SD45's :)

I love WC. I saw CN's SORE-1 train departing Escanaba in the up when i was about 9 or 10 with 2 WC GP40's and i was obssesd. I plan on buying a few WC locos this summer and maybe custom build a few if i can get the decals. And where did you find those WC GP38-2's?
