A lot of shortlines have quite a following, especially ones that have been around for a long time. And its a really nice paint scheme, IMHO. My only risk is that its a west coast RR, and east coast RR's always seem to sell the best, The other RR i was thinking of was SMS rail services (SMS Lines) The bought the trona AS616's, and their paints scheme is basically the late reading scheme, and they are in NJ, and the last great bastion of Baldwin diesels in the country. It was a toss up in my mind, but I went with Trons cause the paint scheme is nicer. And SMS only has about 10 miles of track. lol.
If a lot of PPl want SMS, I guess I could ask to do that too
