Floyd Brittian’s Midland Valley Railroad Company. 
The MV entered Indian Territory prior to Oklahoma becoming a State so if you speak Comanche or Apache we will get along just fine.  Following early railroad construction of using whatever material was handy our MV was built using Scrap Lumber, Hollow Core Doors, Duct Tape and Sheet Rock Screws,  The Rock of Gibraltar it ain’t but it is fun to operate.
