Best- buying rolling stock and locos Worst- Can't run it all on layout. How do you guys do it with several dozen locos as far as collecting/running?

Sometimes I run all U P, sometimes I run Reading / PRR, sometimes I run B&O and C&O. I just pretend to change locations. I am in no way any kind of "authentic" modeller, let alone a devotee of any one flag! Best = running three trains at once Worst = having to clean up after a major derailment Marc

Punk, Go to a car dealer or auto painting shop and get some pin stiping for your road lines. Bill

Bill would say the best is running the trains! I love doing scenery! The worst is not having enough time to do either. And you can get pin stripe tape usually at any of the bigger auto parts stores, or stores that sell automotive refinish supplies. We have a lot of pinstripe tape. Bill is in the car repair business.
