[quote user="Marc The Shark"]All, I guess Im in a pickle. I Love the steam era, and like early diesel. Is there a location where I can find out the years I should be modeling if I want to have both on my layout? In addition which locomotives I should be displaying? I am currently working on an N Scale Layout that measures 3x4.[/quote] Do you have a particular railroad in mind?  A particular region of the country?  If I was building a 1958 NKP line, I'd be limited in stean locomotives to 0-8-0s, 0-6-0s. 4-6-4s, 2-8-4s, and 2-8-2s.  If I was modelling 1947-48, I could have all of the above plus 2-8-0s, 4-6-2s, and 4-6-0s...and the only diesels would be PA-1s...If you have a particular railroad in mind, drop a message on here and head to your local library. Usually the premier passenger train was the first thing dieselized, as were yards. If you're freelancing the Shark Central, then Es, PAs, early jeeps, 2-8-4s, 2-8-0s, 2-8-2s, 4-6-2s, RSs are all cool.
