I agree that this would be a good idea. As mentioned above, mainland Europe already has the "Epoch" system, which could also be applied (with some modification) to US outline models - modification would be needed to make the "Epochs" coherent, as at the moment they're set by major changes in Europe - for example, Epoch 5 began with the change from the German federal railways to the privatised German railways of today in the early '90s. While it would be no substitute for research, it would be a major help to beginners and avoid them buying unsuitable/unrealistic collections of cars.
