    The gauge railway PT 2!!!!

    How a bout sky blue pink?? The color for all occasions?? Just kidding. I could go with a medium blue like the Boston&Maine or the Bangoor&Aroostook, but the light blue is out of the question. The-Gauge background is more of a medium than a light blue any ways. I just don't want...

    The gauge railway PT 2!!!!

    I'm gonna put in my two cents worth here. If I may. Almost every rail road has changed their colors at least once. Every era seems to be differant, (except the UP ). I like the Blue but it can't be light blue with white letters. NOPE can't be, That was Rock Islands last color scheme...

    I am going to die...

    In all seriousness (on my part) I take the wife to the big shows with me, She can spot a RI car/loco farther away than I can. My wife figures if the bills are paid then I can have some fun, She'd rather she me at home with the family working on the lay-out than in the the bar. Even though...
