A generic approach is essentially what I use. The structures are a general mix of old and modern and the vehicles range from the 50's to 05. By adding or subtracting vehicles and some small details of certain times, I can make the layout reflect whatever time period I want (in the time periods of the 50's to modern day) that I want it too. Still, it wouldn't be a big leap to have a train pulled by a team of F units or RS3's to come through town in 2001. Not likely to happen but it's possible.

My last layout was in the mid 30's, but I think the new one will be backdated to 1928 or 29.

Summer of 1968 on the proud Milwaukee Road. Except.. I don't exactly know how "summer" it would be in the mountains. On the Milwaukee, they sometimes got a few feet of snow in the middle of August. The Rockies are untame. Happy railroading James

ummm yeah, don't like BNSF, esp after the SF guys took over and took the merger their way. Was supposed to be the parent company merger, and the 2 railroads were gonna stay seperate.
