Building an N&W WWII era layout

[NW Modeling List]

Hi all,

My name is Kit Anderson and I am interested in building a WWII era layout of the N&W.  I am not new to model railroading.  Like many in the hobby, I started with Lionel as a kid and made the transition to HO when I was 12, I am now 53.  Been involved with several clubs over the years including the last 20 years in a modular club but I am coming to a point in my life where I will be able to start working on a home layout.  :)   I often dream big but have trouble following thru.  My house has a 15 by 25 room in it that was built for a layout.  I am going to be starting to design an N&W layout and I joined your society to get some help on the details for the layout.  Modeling a specific time period will help me lock down equipment and I like the WWII time period anyway and the military in general.  I like long coal trains and plan on trying to work them into the layout.  

Any suggestions or book references that you think would be a good place to start would be appreciated.  

Hope to talk to you all more in the future!  Thanks!   Kit Anderson  lordector at aol.com
