I am 46 and prefer diesel era, but not strictly because of the trains, but the whole layout. I started noticing that much of the offerings for steam (old) era structures and such look rather whimsical and dilapidated, more like what you would see in a Popeye cartoon. They may be representing old structures, but many were new back then. They seem to model the structures how they would look today after 60 years of neglect instead of fairly new, painted, and properly maintained. I also don't consider then the good old days. Not much good about the 30's and 40's.
