Interstate 71

Two trains of autoracks meet under what will be one of the bridges over the tracks for Interstate 71 east of Mansfield. All 43 of the autoracks that I have are shown in this video. Read more about my current layout, as well as my last layout, at http://chatanuga.org/WLMR.html .

I like the layout . Are you still operating?

[chatanugadotorg]

Yes, I am.

[nawrock]

is that a custom GT with the yellow bottom? If so what paint did you use on it?

[chatanugadotorg]

Yeah, it's custom painted. Got it off of Ebay back in 2002 or 2003.

Im still wondering why walthers or athearn doesnt make one like that...or the black CN autoracks...

[chatanugadotorg]

True.  Of course, there's so many variations of paint schemes on autoracks. Trying to come up with all of them would drive up the costs probably. Thankfully, they offer undecorated versions of the cars that can be painted however people want them.

I want a KCS train in ho

[chatanugadotorg]

I know. I haven't had the money to create a realistic fleet of locomotives for my layout so I've been stuck with the mix of locomotives (and roadnames) that I've had since I was a kid.

Very nice, but U boats and Alcos pulling Autoracks? J/K!

[chatanugadotorg]

As of right now, I have 43 autoracks from Walthers. I have two more preordered as well as a couple of the articulated autoracks that Atlas is coming out with.
