I tend to go modern stuff, but there's a Doodlebug and 2-8-0 steamer that run around my track too! :)

Currently, I run both steam and early diesel (RS3, F3,) - so, I guess I'm in the 1940-1953 era.

I'm thinking about making a concealed staging area to park some more modern diesels and trade back and forth between the late steam-early diesel and the moderns.

More or less the summer of 1957, just before Sputnik. The height of the modern streamlined passenger in terms of equipment, although frequency of passenger service had dropped. All diesel on the trunkline railroad although there may be a steamer holding on on the logging company railroad. Lots of 40 foot freight cars and "loose car railroading"-- customers that get a car or two once a week. I do cheat and run a doodlebug that had been discontinued in the earlier 50s.

My layout is moving backwards in time. Its current form and near future (I got done laying final trackwork on the first section recently--well, yesterday--on the first section of the layout) it will be set in 1953-1966, when diesels ran on the last portions of the Sacramento belt line. Its next iteration will occur once I get up poles and string wire--and build a couple of freight motors--will run from 1946-1953, when the lines I model bought their first diesels, which worked alongside electrics in the area I model. Finally, once the whole layout is up and running, I'll be able to model 1930's-1940's era with passenger interurban trains and trolleys. Even then, by changing rolling stock and a few signs I should be able to switch around between eras with minimal fuss.

Steam rules! 1930s-1960. I can include all truly spectacular stuff from the time when real trains ran.

From the last of the Western Maryland steam, through early diesels, the Chessie years, the rebirth of the Westminster lines under the Maryland Midland, until the death of the Entertrainment Line.
