I model a shortline, freelanced, but loosely based on the Great Western, which served sugar beet plants in NE Colorado. #90 now on the Strasburg is probably GW power most familiar to York attendees. No sticking to prototype for my terminal is fictional Front Range imagined between Denver and Pueblo on the Joint Line. With much custom lettered Denver and Front Range, a lot of rolling stock is for the East Slope roads that ran in Colorado. Other obscure equipt. to be seen on sidings is Mich. Upper Peninsula. While a friend collects O gauge Pennsy RPO equipt., I carefully avoid any NE rolling stock, frustrated by its proclivity. Not ignored are stray cars from smaller Chicago roads ..CGW, C&EI, C&lM. So, yes, some roads are absolutely not allowed nor purchased.
