Listing of Eras For Locomotives

Jim has a comment/question for readers:

“I’ve been all over the internet and find bits and pieces of information on what locomotives ran in what years, but not as much info in one place that would make it easier for a beginner to figure out what locomotives to purchase and run in the eras that I have for my layout. I just don’t want to mix it all over the place, but would at least be as close to accurate as I can.”

Jim, if you have already assembled lots of info from your search then it would be helpful if you would share it with others please. You can post the information you have gathered as a reply. Thanks in advance.
