Choosing an Era - Oh, the difficulty!!!

I'd say I'm not worried about getting bored with one era, but simply liking too many: <br /> <br />1) 40's & 50's - How cool does an old, dirty city scene from the 40's & 50's look!!!? <br /> <br />2) 70's & 80's - from when I grew up - lots of Nastalgia there. <br /> <br />3) Present day: Nothing like taking a picture of a diesel rolling by and then trying to model it. <br /> <br />Everyone is talking about the trains - but in the most realistic model railroad photos I've seen, or layouts I've visited, there isn't a hodge-podge of stuff. As someone mentioned in a previous thread, being very specific creates the nicest looking layouts. But then they're limited in what could be realistically run!!! Oh, the frustration! <br /> <br />What I will likely end up doing is picking a relatively modern era - say, 1996 just before SP was gone, then if I ever run a steam engine, etc., it will be just for kicks, without any attempt to be realistic.
