What era do you model?

[Anonymous]

My layout depicts a fictional museum line, so it's modern day but with lots of older paint schemes and stock. Where else could you see a couple of FM C-Liners in NYC livery waiting in the servicing track, while a CSX Dash 9 switches a few ACF Centre-flow hoppers? (CSX has track rights over the line, a handy excuse to run big modern locos and stock). Sometimes the museum's locos haul freights on behalf of CSX - an Erie-built on double-stack cars? It looks pretty good!

I model whatever pulls my trains. Either steam or diesel.
If my 4-6-2 ends up pulling my stack train & my AC4400 pulls my heavyweight passenger cars, so be it.
The trains have to get through.

I model modern times, but in a weird way I guess. I have a mainline so I can run my modern locos and a shortline so I can run older diesels.


Thanks,

GO PACKERS!!!![:D]

Now, specifically mid 1940s through late 1950s.

Well, my era is 1940 through 1960. I want to do this so I can have more F units. That way I can run F7's next to 2-8-0's. Oh yeah, the RR is UP.

Actually, my era spans the 1930's to the late 1950's, although I don't use the road switchers that came as replacements for the E- and F- series diesels.

My layout will vary between the mid-1940's to early 60's--I selected 1940-1949 because that will be the eventual focus of the layout, once I get the trolley poles working.

As I progress with my layout I continue to think transitional era. The problem is that I also like modern equipment, too...so I'm thinking that my layout will be more free-lanced/fantasy than anything. I want to have equipment from the 30's to the present. It may not be realistic but it sure will be a lot of fun for me.[:D]

I model 1940-1949, specifically UP during WWII. How about you?
