@ScoutingDad posted:@Strap Hanger I have always liked your station. well done. @Putnam Division if it were up to me, I would do what it takes to fit Strap's version into the layout.
I am pretty sure my future station will be the 3 bank version elevated above the rails. I want room for at least 8 passenger sets to be ready at the station.
Here is the list:
- Milwaukee Road Hiawatha - modern and late 30's Beaver Tail version (trying to acquire) - pulled by F3s and a Bi-Polar or Little Joe(not secured yet) or E3
- Santa Fe streamlined - F3 ABA
- Pennsylvania Madison pulled by GG1 (on its way)
- Norfolk and Western Madison pulled by the 611 J Class
- Great Northern streamlined pulled by ABA F3
- Denver and Rio Grande pulled by AA F3 (my only rail king set)
- Burlington (not acquired yet) pulled by silver ABA F3
- Southern Pacific Daylight pulled by GS4 Daylight 4449
- Union Pacific (not acquired yet) pulled by Big Boy replicating recent tour.
Of course there is the matter of the Burlington Zephyr, UP 10000 and interurbans and trolleys.
I think I lean toward passenger railroads
I did have a really nice Southern Crescent set and a Bi-Level Amtrak set I sold off thinking they did not fit with what I was trying to do. Proof that I do not keep everything delivered to my door. And proof the next house needs a larger train room.
Thanks Scouting Dad. Really nice list. Funny how all of us seem to eventually find that same “proof” for a larger train room! For those looking to kitbash MTH banks, here are some links that I found very helpful -
