RE: (erielack) Common foreign roadnames on DL&W

Brian,

This will get you started. Schuyler posted a consist for NE-6 a few years
ago; here's the link:

Scroll to the bottom. NE-6 was a fairly representative train out of Buffalo,
it will give you an idea.

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

freight cars that seemed to appear on the Lackawanna more than others? 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.
