Thanks, J3a, and...

YES!!  I couldn't afford it at the time, but my LHS had some gorgeous B&O passenger cars; the kind where you pass the wand to turn on the lights.  Man, they were expensive.  I'm pretty tapped out with all the locos and freight I've picked up lately.  

I do have a small siding station and the obligatory UNION station for the passenger service.  This is a twenty-year project, and I'm only into year four.

First I want to try a couple resin kits (wagon top boxes).  Need to build my freight service first.

Again, I must confess I'm stretching history a bit.  These two locos were scrapped in 1953, but they will live until at least 1960 on my layout (rule #1).

The real issue I'm working on right now is scenery.  I need to put some real B&O mainline spots on my layout; especially for photo ops.  You know, Falls Cut, Sand Patch, Cumberland, M&K Junction, etc.  Gotta figure out what will fit...  Well... what will be easy to model anyway.

Regards,

Jonathan
