What Era Do You Model?

[up1950s]

1954-55.

There was a similar poll recently over on Trainboard. Transition era just edged modern era. I would guess this site has more modelers of the modern era.

I wonder if the transition era losing its dominance is common across scales, or peculiar to N.

The urge to model the transition era looses its steam after the last fart is blown out the breezer .

1995-2005; unless I see a neat diesel then all bets are off.

1983-86 with only a few anachronisms.

I waffle... Pennsy in the mid 50's and modern day on the WNY&P/NS.  With a smattering of C&O around WWII.

Spring/Summer of 1983

Tough question to answer.  The layout is from 1975 to the early 80's.  I've the freight cars on hand to get me to 1999.  Thinking of branching out to modern day Wheeling and Lake Erie.  I need more toys!

Adding rivets to the space time continuum is not my idea of fun.

Anytime between 1940 and 2000 will do me fine.

Counting rivets in the space-time continuum is the epitome of fun for me.     1947 through December 31, 1956...UP between Ogden and Wahsatch.

No option for future?  I'm modelling the near future.  That way if anyone says something isn't to prototype I can simply say: "Yet"

Late 40's PRR but I sorta run what I have, duplex steam, sharnoses, F & E units etc, but always CK, no shadow keystone

1937 D&RGW, 1983 CNW, & 1994 CNW

Well, I really don't care about wheel size, but I model 1969... or thereabouts. Give or take a few minutes north or south of July 14th.

But I suspect I'll be running Burlington Northern green and Amtrak equipment, along with GN, CBQ, SPS, and Milwaukee, until the various manufacturers produce enough Northern Pacific stuff to fill a layout. I have the money, but it seems the manufacturers don't want it.

Summer of this year.  But it may get hard to keep up, given the way things change these days.

Just autumn, no specific date...
