When I changed from the german to the US prototype on my layout, I decided not to model the “normal” Railroads like ATSF, SP or UP.

To many people are modeling these themes. Nevertheless it should be a big Railroad.

In 2000 the selection of models, what I could get in Germany here, was not as big as today.

Most models are for ATSF and UP. Some for Pennsy and Conrail but both uses paint schemes I don’t like that time.

Then I found a pair of Rivarossi E8As in MoPac Eagle scheme at Ebay. So I started my first US layout with MP in the 60s.

My next model was an Athearn GP7 repainted with Oddball decals in as delivered scheme and so on.

Today I model mainly the present era and decided to ignore the UP/MP merger.

The models on the photos are what’s left of the 60s layout. But I don`t want to sell them.

Possibly the 34′ coal hopper. They are too old.
