Ah, how big is it destined to be? It's a double decked N scale layout with staging under the bottom deck. It fills a 10.5 x 15 room.

I find that, like religion, money is the source of all problems. I think you can guess how I feel about religion, and as for money......the money itself isn't the problem. It the LOVE of money that causes the problems. BTW, true religion......love of God.....it doesn't divide people at all. It's the people that divide. God is a God of love and a God of unity. Division is a forgien idea to Him. It's we sinful people who screw it all up. But I digress..........

True, but if the money weren't here then there wouldn't be the love of money to worry about, which only strengthens my belief that money and religion are the basic root of all problems.

As this isn't the place for a theology debate, I'll just say that we'll have to disagree on this point. If someone wants to talk more on this, lets keep it to PM's, OK?

Well my name is Max. (note this is all fictional modeling stuff) I am the Owner, President and Chairman of the Norht Shore Transportation Systems Inc, which owns North Shore Railway Contractors and the North Shore Terminal and Transfer Railway Company. We at the NSTT use an SW1 for reguler switchjobs, which is usually called about 0800, and myself ALWAYS runs that job. (Next one is the imagination variety) at around 2400 each night, my Assistant Operations Manager and VP of the NSTT fires up the former DMIR SD45T-2 and former BNSF GP60M ( we also use a former GN SD45 if needed) to handle the 5-8 transfers we get each night. 3-4 BNSF, 2-3 CN, sometimes 1 CP, and 1 UP. We are soon expanding to a 9 X 12 area. (HO)
In real life I am a volunteer and work at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, among other things we have a DMIR 2-8-8-4, the first Milwaukee Electric; Boxcab #10200, former Missabe cars The Northland and W-24, which were the executive cars, and a NP Observation round end. We have over 80 pieces all together. I also do the same at the North Shore Scenic Railroad which runs over 36 miles of scenic Lake Superior. We have a fresh repainted SOO GP30, a DMIR SD18/M, GN NW5, SOO FP7, Erie Mining F9 AB and SOO steamer 2719 just to name a few. The afore mentioned coaches and executive cars are all available for charter on the NSSR. I play football and basball for Duluth East highschool. I am a freshman. I am very knowledgeable about railroad operations, any questions just ask. Cya around guys. (if anyone is on the trains.com forums, i am known as coborn35)

A good ole boy is a very southern way of saying that someone is a good person. A yankee is a southern, sometimes derogatory, term for an American that lives in or is from the northern United States.
