I like more than one era. So I put steam and F units on the track and more or less appropriate cars and buildings and it all fits together for the 40-50 era. But I like the 70-80 era too and also the 80-90 era so I exchange cars, automobiles and some buildings and all conditions are met to put second generation diesels into operation and maybe even a C44-8 .

I also do model any specific era, I like the SP Daylight passanger train and have GS-4 In daylight colors as well as f7A/B units. I like GP 7's as well as GP60's. I like the early 40's steam engines and diesels as well as modern diesels, so I will probably make my layout a free lanced/ fantasy railroad

well I was going to model the late 60s & early 70s in mostly the SOO LINE & CNW. But after seeing the WSOR in Wisconsin for a while, They kind of grew on me so I'll be modeling this line also & probably to the present. I'm debating on making several eras divided by small walls. For example MR. Rogers neighborhoods trolley setup. From present to make believe. PS; My remote quits working when I get to his show sometimes when I see the trolley. Maybe I should post to see what the problem is. Ha Ha ........................." HAPPY RAILS "

Illinois Terminal 1948-53, still operating passenger and freight under wire, steam fleet being rapidly phased out, early diesels (S-2, RS-1, GP7, SW1200) beginning to make inroads.
