How many Guage members model 19th century?

My layout is basically early 20th century, 1920 or so. I do run a lot of American 4-4-0 and 19th century rolling stock, which is very limited in “O” gauge.

Note that most of the autos are even steam powered

Zman, If you havent visited Harolds site yet,I highly suggest you do.His site is extremely informative and very well done.
I am in the process of changing From N scale 50's to turn of the century On30.
If you like History you can get lost in the research.Its incredible how much information is out there on these era's if you dig deep enough.If you go to far back,photo's are hard to come by.I suggest 1864-65 as about as far back as you would want to go if you want photo's to help.1880's things get just a bit easier and turn of the century is even better.1910-1925 is a gold mine of information.Have Fun and make sure you check out harolds site......Its that good!! :D

I don't model that far back, but it would appear that 1880 on is not too bad in ho scale. I'm not familier with other scales. Harold models ho/oo because the 1879's and earlier had equipment that was smaller and he needed ho bodies on the bigger oo mechanism and oo details to make it work. If Horizon keeps Roundhouse/MDC locomotives and rolling stock in production, they did a lot of turn of the century (turn of the last century) equipment. Bowser's ex Varney Casey Jones would fit, Mantua's General, and I think IHC has come out with some 1890's to 1910 steam. It might also be interresting to kitbash some wagons into early horseless carriages.
 
Russ, in N Scale it is Athearn Roundhouse for rolling stock, or maybe bashing some Bachmann Old tyme cars.

For motive power, it is Athearn, Atlas, Bachmann and Model Power.

For structures, several companies produce suitable N Scale kits.
DPM, Sylvan, Blairline, American Model Builders, Period Miniatures.

For detail parts, Rusty Stumps has some nice laser cut fences and ladders and their wood shake shingles are the best I have seen.

There is always scratchbuilding, I am starting by making paper mockups, and slowly will be replacing them with wooden structures.

Don't forget the Delorean in the abandoned mine, shootout at the Notsook Corral, institutes of negotiable affection, water trough bath, shotgun wedding, jail break, bank robbery, and , oh yeah, dragging a guy through town. :thumb:

Did I forget anything? :D
