Dude, I used to be impressed by your projects. Now I am just astounded! Wow.
The only seemingly logical progression for your talent now might be a Santa Fe 2-10-10-2, or an Erie Triplex. I think a layout worthy of all your great engines would be more in order. Seeing those trains snaking through the Pennsylvania mountains...oh man. Awesome!

I feel kind of lucky the scale I grew up with seems to have the most available for detail parts and seemingly decals at least as to what I see at shows. N scale adds a whole other level of difficulty I think. With unlimited money and space I would probably go bigger and develop a line of detail parts for myself, you know when I win the lottery I don't play.

There will be a layout at some point, but I want to stop being a renter first. In the mean time I want to do a couple 2'x4' modules that will in theory be a starting plug-in to a real layout. Plus I will still be building engines, I don't think I'll ever stop, I just enjoy doing them. I have been trying to figure out just what I want to do. To be flexible I think I need to do more of a Reading Company themed freelance area, or change history to have all anthracite railroads use the Harrisburg line since I would like to do steam era Hershey. Kind of make Harrisburg a northern Hagerstown. The other option doing something like Scranton which I live in as a younger kid, and inflate the rail service there, not so Lackawanna themed. Of course I would have to make the Casey Hotel then.
