Okay, I found Early Rails group on Yahoo. I haven't really dived into conversation with them but it seems they are a good resource for rolling stock. But when I look for engines I find that everything is geared toward Colorado and I want to do something in the redwoods.
I'm also looking to do something in the 1890-1910 range. Maybe in the Santa Cruz area, maybe in the Sierras. I've looked at several railroads and am leaning toward Santa Cruz right now.
The engines I have found that are relative to era are 2-8-0's by MDC in kits. I know the would need to be re-geared. I would want to put Tsunamis in them as well.
But where do I go from there? What skills will I need? I'd consider bashing HO bodies on HOn3 chassis but I've never even see one for sale.
