Howdy Folks.My name is Carsten and living in North Germany.I model the Chessie System,L&N,Family Lines and Seaboard System in Ho during the 80´s till late 90´s.At home i haven´t got a layout but are a member of Fremo (US FREEMO)and building module layouts.

As far as i know Chessie System made it into Canada in the 80´s.I don´t know if D&H or B&M crossed the border.But it is an interesting question and grave in it.
