And I'm partial to green because I used to live in Southern territory. In fact,
my freelanced N-scale layout, the Lake Jackson & Occoquan, is a Southern
subsidiary. I actually started building it before my daughter was born, then it
was relegated to storage because we needed the extra room. Now it is in the
basement of our new home, but my interests have changed. My 3-1/2-year-old
daughter loves Lego, and my 9-month-old son already has a Primo train. So I am
shifting to Lego trains in order to be able to share with my kids. When they are
older I will get back to my N-scale stuff (Well, what is left of it. I am
planning to sell some of it off to finance my Lego hobby.)

Exactly, that's one of the reasons why I chose one for my first MOC. It didn't
require a lot of parts, and since almost every industrial switcher is a little
different from others, it captures a feel without having to be "prototypically"
exact. Now I'll go back and see about adding some additional details to flesh it
out.

Thanks!
