I am just getting into model railroading and would like to create a railroad from the 40's and 50's. Where can I find good information on layouts and the type of rolling stock from this time period. In searching my local hobby store I have no idea which engines (I want to intermingle steam and diesel) or cars would be appropriate or how a layout would best be laid out. It doesn't help that the hobby store owner is aggravated if I come in to just look and has his own ideas how I should begin. In other words he has the personality of the stereotypical carsalesman. (No offense to ethical salespeople).
