All,
I need to buy several models of these cars (HO) for my rural, line located in
north central Illinois off the double-track main roughly halfway between
Chicago and Galesburg. My free-lanced branchline on the layout is imagined to
be located probably close to where Neponset might be situated in the "real"
world.
Since I am modeling the CB&Q in the late 1960's, I naturally already have a
majority of Burlington's cars to be used to service the elevators and local
related grain industry customers on the line.
My question is that at the LHS I see cars lettered for several grain dealers,
haulers, etc., and was wondering if I should just get a mix of most of these to
round out my fleet, or would only a couple names be used in a specific area or
part of the country meaning I would have to buy several of the same few named
cars?
Does anyone know what names would be used in my modeled area of Lines East?
Thanks . . .
