Hey Gang. I noticed that there was a hell of a lot of interest shown in the topic of Free Lance Railroads on the HO Forum. I was wondering how many of us N Scale modellers also have our own free lance railroads. Mine is the Central of Colorado, which has taken over lines in the Colorado Springs area, including the old Rock Island line (apologies to those interested in Kyle Railroad)to Kansas City and Lincoln. It also has running rights on the Joint Line and a couple of fictional lines west of Colorado Springs. This way I can run what ever locomotive type that I like, especially Alco FA2s lash ups. How many of us have also formatted our "own" railroads.
Ron, have a look at the Andersley Western RR from the link below my sig. ------------------ Alan The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale! www.ac-models.com Andersley Western Railroad Alan's American Gallery
Ron, also notice they locked the thread since there is a new Free-Lancers Board. As for me, I just free-lance the location (midwest) and model the railroad as accurately as is feasible (UP). ------------------ Corey Lynch Pres - Rensselaer Model RR Society NEB&W RR http://www.rpi.edu/~lynchc/Railfanning/railfanning.htm - My Site http://www.union.rpi.edu/railroad/ - NEB&W
Ron, Have a look at the traiN'ternet web site. There, you'll be able to see several freelance model railroads. traiN'ternet : http://www.trainternet.org/
Check out the CEE Line RR at www.members.iquest.net/~leghome/index/html This is my own formated RR although it does run on trackage of others railroads. All the other roads are real or at least were real at one time. Most are fallen flags but who cares about what is where. It is MY railraod and I will run on it what ever in the heck I want.

Guys, there is a new forum for this stuff, shall we move it there? I think we shall...
