RE: (erielack) Common foreign roadnames on DL&W
Hi,
I hope someone can help you here as I am considering an O scale ficticious Erie layout supposed to be near Middletown NY. I was going down the EL road but fancied having a car or two from the O & W so have decided to model mid fifties just before the demise of the Old & Weary. I look forward to replies to your query.
Cheers
Chris

I'm guessing friendly connections might be a good place to start. Would I be correct in assuming Nickle Plate and Wabash for starters? What about New England roads like New Haven, Boston & Maine and Delaware & Hudson? Should I just follow the roads that had the biggest rosters (PRR, NYC, B&O, ATSF, MILW SP) of cars? I plead -- and apologize for my -- ignorance.
