Well, I'm certainly not a purist... I don't plan on modelling any specific year or prototype, rather just an era. I thought though, that if I modeled post war, or 50's, then I don't think it would look proper to run a container train, but I'm not sure if I could run a TOFC every now and again with 24ft trailers. Don't know how out of place that would be. Also, I'm not sure what the average car length would be for that period, and I doubt if what I call frameless tank cars were in use. Just things like that. It seems to me that at some time after the 50s, the level of sophitication in rolling stock increased dramatically. I can't peg the date. A visit to the library seems in order now. At least that is close by!
