Byron, I noticed in your MRP article you mention Iain Rice style "puzzle pieces" - changing out buildings, etc. That is exactly what I'd like to do, but rather than just changing the type of industry, I will also be changing the era of building. <br /> <br />Unless, of course, I could figure out what type of building would be standing in the 40's and 50's, as well as today. Then I'd only have to change out signs, cars, etc. to change the date from the 50's to the 90's. <br /> <br />I am very much starting to see how you just have to pick an era. Just saying, "present day" is not good enough, unless you're going to be constantly changing eras, a'la Eric Brooman. <br /> <br />I'm only 30 yrs old, so if I try to do "present day", I'll have way too many locos to buy in my lifetime! So I'm thinking like 1955, and 1998 or 2000 or so. 2000 - there's a nice round number! Oooh, maybe 1950, and 2000? <br /> <br />I'll study up more in John Signor's book and see what date from the 50's gives me steam as well as early diesels (I'm wanting to have both steam and diesel versions of the coast daylight).
