If time and money was no object - what would you do that's related to MRRing or Proto RRing?
1. Finish my photography work for my "then and now" book on the N&W railway.
2. Photograph and document the bridges on the Rock Island main from Colorado Springs to Bellevue Kansas.
3. Hunt up a few real rail cars and rework them to PV. The Northern Pacific car 310, I let this one slip through my fingers in 1989. The Ocean View (I missed getting it at an Amtrak auction in St. Louis). And the Susie Marie Pullman Standard heavyweight - saw it in the Milwaukee station in 1984 and fell in love with it. Its been for sale a few times since then, but each time the price has gone up staying just out of my range.
4. Find a site and start my own model railroad museum along the lines of the Greeley Museum. I envision 5 "halls". First hall is a time line where the visitor would enter with models of the 1830s. Each town on the layout progresses through time as the trains get more modern. Second hall is the hall of railroads. Each town on the pike is laid out and sceniced as the "ubiquitous" type town and station for a particular railroad. Typical Santa Fe, typical Union Pacific, typical Pennsy, etc. Third hall is railroad famous places the layout would stich together all the most famous railroad places in the USA. The hanging bridge of the Arkansas, the three deep bridge in Richmond Virginia, Keddie wye, Horseshoe curve, triple diamond in Winfield Kansas, etc. The hall of passenger trains. Models some great passenger stations like St. Louis and track to let the trains stretch out and be seen. And finally the hall of fantasy. Trains of fruit crate labeled reefers, all the commemorative trains, equipment painted in what if schemes, etc. Out side of course would be a 15" ride on train.
5. Get my miniature speaker enclosure designs drawn up and start printing them on 3D printers.
6. Start upgrading all my DC locos sitting in storage to whatever command system is the predominant one of the day and get some run time on them.
7. Finish memorizing all the railroad history books collecting dust in my library.
8. etc.
