I dont know diddly about what was said or not said earlier. I use build dates as a way of keeping my cars in era. I try to keep em within 10 years of 1945 but there are enough modern cars sneaking about to make up a 1980's or later train. Changing eras on your layout is nothing more than changing the motive power. For example if you ran 4-4-0 and a few truss rod boxcars you set the time very early in the period. If a SD70MAC Desiel came thru town hauling cars so big that your entire 4-4-0 will fit as a load in or on it then it is a modern railroad. I think you will find something at the Fairgrounds when they have that show in April the 16th and 17th if that is the one you plan on going (I will be there also)
