Well,Depends on my mood..I can model C&O in the 60s,the C&O/Chessie in the 70s or my C&HV from 1978-2004. Did I mention I will be buying some NS units???
Right now I'm doing the mid-fifties thru the end of NYC as a real railroad ( modelers license says different) I have equipment that can take me to the present.. A trio of NYC GP-30's look nice pulling a doublestack train! -:thumb:
My official era is British railways 1829-1959. (note small r on railways). I have a concentration in 1923-1948. I also have a few pieces outside this era (in both directions).
I model Santa Fe in the 50's on the modular club, with some equipment back dating to the 30's & 40's. At home I'm planning to build a switching layout of the L.A.J. in the 80's to the present.
Right now I seem to be leaning toward the 50's and 60's. Well at least most of the stuff I am buying now fits into that period. I do have things that fit into the 60's, 70's, and 80's, however. I plan on keeping them but I will concentrate on the 50's and 60's.
1880-1900 Southern Ontario Short Line in N Scale.
Railway had approximately 205 miles total.
I am modeling part of the 56 mile long Orangeville Branchline, from mile 39 (Cheltenham) to mile 56 (Orangeville).
