Hello, I am building a layout designed around a switching yard in the early to mid 1960's. My problem is I have a hard time figuring out what freight cars are from that era and which are really an earlier or later period. I tried getting some videos of trains from that time period, but both Emery Gulash and *** Wallin both only seemed interested in the locomotives, we see the engine then it cuts to the caboose, with almost no film of the cars. Is there a source I can use to tell which cars are from the era I want? For example, when did they stop having roof walkways? Thanks
