I agree NKP174 the info you have is very important. In my case I was born in 74, Never saw the era I model. I have to rely on pics and literature from that time. It was what was going on in the 40's and 50's as well as the look of the equipment that lures me in. Still a great modeler can make...

On a derelict structure from the 70's on some :cry:graffiti:cry: could be in order. Some missing boards:sad: or fire damage:eek: are also possible. Almost anything goes. great idea.:thumb:

I was a member ,off and on for a few years. It can be an expensive club to belong to when you factor in the conventions and dues. Holding an NMRA card or not really did not change the amount of enjoyment of the hobby I had. So I let my membership run out.
