Freight Cars - Reporting Marks Mix

Fri, 2017-09-29 02:40 — Pauly

Hello,

My question is do the rolling stock usually follow the locomotive's railroad line (ie: CSX loco with CSX box cars) or can there be a mix (ie: CSX loco with CSX, CN, Southern box cars)? If so, would CSX have freight cars from rail lines out west, like BNSF, BN? I'm not referring to leased freight cars, which I know would be in the mix.

Hopefully I made sense in my question. Feel free to ask additional questions.

Thanks!

Atlas Code 83 sectional track

I see Atlas sells its sectional code 83 curved track in 18 and 22 inch radius in a package of 6. How many sections does it take to make a circle?

Like Rick Wade, I am moving on.

Like Rick did a few weeks ago, this Friday at 4:30 PM I will officially be unemployed. Its been an incredible 22 years at my current post but I am looking forward to retirement. As part of that, my wife and I will be moving from here in Florida to Western Michigan. Yes I know thats backwards, but we have our reasons.

I have my layout all planned out and ready to go and will begin building it from the ground up once we get settled into our new place.

I hope to keep a running photographic account of the various phases of construction.

stay tuned.
