How many on the list have, are planning or building a model railroad ????

Drawing track plans for my layout and am active on a large club layout 
(CNJ/LV/DL&W prototype on that)

Taking a page fromt he NEB&W book I am planning a freelance road that goes 
through real towns. I am an antracite and milk road buff, though my modeling 
is mostly the millk roads... O&W, B&M and Rutland.

 model ???

Era: late steam and mid-70's
Lines to have scenes included: Rutland south of Dorset, Rutland west of 
Burlington (steam era), B&M/CP Passumpsic, O&W Scranton Division (steam era)


>> Most importantly, what reasons, WHY did you choose the line, era, region
 you did...... >>

Scenery, rich history and a personal connection.
