I'm just learning about the SPNG and found a nice plan in the new on-line issue of Model Railroad Hobbyist at

http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/mrh2009-Q4/slim_rails_trackplan

This plan could be "un-wrapped" into a larger place and the mid-line towns fleshed out as necessary for a really neat layout with great ops possibilities.

I'd go for an inside frame 2-8-0 along the lines of the Pacific Coast RR Baldwins which I think were very similar to the D&RG's C-19. Some possibilities there, and a perfect match for some of the PCRR rolling stock we already have.

Thoughts?

OK, now that the Rail Bus has hit the shelves, what about that 4-6-0! I really need a couple of those and maybe an outside frame 4-4-0 or two as well!

Any word on their arrival?
