Hello from Idaho!

[BN3140]

Greeting's! I'm a fan of Sid Meier's Railroads and after seeing that the forum at Hooked Gamers might be closing, I decided to join up here. I'm a big fan of the Burlington Northern Railway now the BNSF. I'm a bit of a train painter for SMR, but I am not exactly the best or the most reliable one at that. Anyway, I'm here! Did I confuse you yet?

The SMR forum here has been quit dead but maybe since HookedGamers is closing down their SMR forum it will get a little more active here.

Welcome BN3140.

I recently spent some time in your state.

I notied hundreds of lumber and hopper cars parked on unused rail lines, sidings and spurs. At least they can't tearing up the rails, unless they move the cars first.

Oh ya! lots of cars are stored here. In CDA, the Stimpson Lumber Mill closed and they are storing tons of old lumber cars in town. They had refers here and the newspapers made a big deal about the grafiti on them. I think there are close to 100 Trailer Train cars and some intermixed BNSF stuff stored here. If you are ever looking for GP38-2s, GP40s, GP40-2s, GP40Ms, or GP50s, then look in Parkwater Engine Facility in Spokane off of Trent Avenue. I saw about 20 of them today. I'll post pictures sometime in the near future if your interested.

I haven't quite got into SMRR myself yet, maybe you'll convert a few of us now you're here!
