Just curious as to how many folks model different regions or time periods on their layouts, and how they work around any logistical problems caused by this?
I actually run 2-3 different regions/time periods, depending on my mood! This is partly because I've inherited quite an eclectic mixture of model trains from my Dad and also because I like the variety.
My main focus is British trains. I usually run British trains from either the 1950s/1960s OR from the 1920s/1930s, and my small 4x6 British layout works well for both.
But then I occasionally like to run 1950s North American trains, although they have to travel through British countryside! (If I ever get more modeling space, I guess I should build a second layout!)
Just wondering how common it is for modelers to focus on different regions and time periods. Thanks! Rob
