My layout is:
>> Steam / Diesel (1941- 1955)
Steam ans some Diesel 1930s-to 1945
Still in design phase. Area available 10’6″x25′, scale is N, so I should be able to do a good layout. Oh and I will be doing the era 1050/1965 Steam and Diesel. American fixed layout and Victoria, Australia modular system
Since I have moved I haven’t had a chance to restart another layout yet. But I normally Model the wild west circa of around the 1860’s through the 1890’s era -Those old Baldwin 4-4-0’s had a style of their own and were some of the most greatest looking locomotives ever built
I have a steam engine, but I prefer modelling Modern Diesel (1975-present day). I also have a 1/43 version of K.I.T.T. (I wish I had a Norfolk Southern GE ES44AC for him to “talk to”.)
Steam/diesel.. 41 to 55 or so.
I model Steam/Diesel transition, Mid to late 40’s thru the 1960’s. Western U.S.
