I have thought about building the Texas also. But i need more wheels. The
basic layout for the engine would be the same since they are both American
4-4-0's

Of course if we wanted to do the real reenactment we will need the "Big
Shanty" depot and the switch engine "Yonah" which I have no idea what it
looked like or even if it still exists.

Looks good Lewis.  I think it will look great at one of our shows as a
museum piece.  :^)
Hey, I just went to the cyclorama last friday next to the Atlanta zoo.
Maybe I'll have to build the "Texas" now that I"ve seen it in person.  Then
we can have the "great chase" on our layout.  To bad my engine would have to
run backwards!! (Boy, I sure hope you know your history or this letter won't
make any sense)
Later,
