Fell free to speak up. <br />[/quote] <br />I prefer American frontier and modern American steam, to European versions (no offense). European trains, with their small coaches, two wheeled trucks and little bumpers have always seems more like being out of the realm of “fantasy” to me. I guess it is that “Old World” flavor. <br /> <br />I have more of a preference for Large American steam, 4 wheeled trucks really industrial looking things. The image of an American 4-4-0 or Mogul 4-6-0, or even a Prairie 2-6-2, pulling a mixed consist through the desert, or mountains or into a frontier hamlet recalled more nostalgia than the Orient Express pulling into Istanbul. <br /> <br />Please, don’t hate me for this. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />I have to sign [#ditto] to that. But at this point I am looking at modern age. Why I have no clue but I should have planned to start off in the 1800s. Plans have made Phase one track, so , modern started. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I think the best era for G (F) Scale (SOL and FA for you muscians out there) is about 1890's to 1950's, although I have seen some very impressive Modern Diesel Stuff out here (Marty C. Comes to mind). <br /> <br />I try to imagine my NMRR to be in the Spirit of the Era, albiet it is a nostalgic 21st Century Railway.
