Just when I've convinced modern is the only way to go, I come accross a transiotion-era layout that is astounding (at the risk of posting the same link in obnoxiously too many places - I put a link to a layout in the Proto:87 thread). <br /> <br />It can be so hard to choose. <br /> <br />One one hand, modern is the way to go because I could personally photograph prototypes, etc. <br /> <br />On the other hand, all that goes by on the tracks these days is UP yellow, and that's it. <br /> <br />Oh, the agony of choosing! <br /> <br />Maybe I could create a transition era layout that could double as modern day. <br /> <br />I'm wondering how successfully I could pull that off. Like an old downtown area with buildings from the 40's. Those buildings could still be there today, with modern engines running through when the mood strikes. <br /> <br />But as someone mentioned in a recent thread, the most believable layouts seem to be the ones with relentless dedication to a prototype/era, etc. <br /> <br />Maybe I just need to choose then put my blinders on to anything outside of my choice.
