That's pretty neat, Ted.
Curious: How long did it take for you to get that state it is in SCARM?
Also, gratifying to hear that even a condensed version of my 23' x 23' KC Lines was fun to operate, if only in virtual. That thing was a monster (to me), but I thought it had a lot of potential for "sincere" operation. (I like "sincere" operation of model trains most of the time.) What appealed to me the most is that I would have been able to incorporate many "scenes" of KC railroading as perceived by my (then) childish eyes.
Other Musings...
So, during this lull in purchasing 3-rail trains (I'm awaiting various parts/supplies as well as a manual), I've been giving more thought as to just what engines I would seriously like to have "some day". I've deduced it down to these observations:
* I enjoy the steam engines over the diesels. That so, the roster will very likely be tilted toward steam.
* I sure am enjoying the stance of these cast frame FA's.
* A decision on what to do for a switcher will come along in time.
The above in view, I think I would like to pursue the following as a "big picture" of my motive power:
* Steam: Baldwin 4-6-4's 665, 685; Berk Boiler 4-6-4's, 646, 2046, 2056. Berk 4-8-4 736. (Already have the Baldwin 2055, 2065 4-6-4's.) Whistle tenders mandatory. 
The jury's still out on a 2-6-2 or a 2-6-4 of some type.
* Diesel: Cast frame FA's primarily. Of those the Rock Island 2031 is the only one I'd really like as an "original". The remaining desired FA's would be custom painted/lettered for KC roads from cast frame's that were much less than "excellent" condition. There might be some stamped-frame FA's, but at this point, this is still being debated.
SO, there you have it for my desired engines. I don't intend to ever have walls full of engines w/variations of same, just original stuff I like and pieces not unwilling to custom paint if needed.
Later I may discuss what I'm thinking in terms of cabooses and general thoughts on rolling stock.
All fer now!
