Years ago, it seemed many people modeled what they consider to be the “golden age” of railroading from the 1930s to the 1950s. Steam reigned supreme back in those days and so it’s easy to see why it’s an appealing setting for a model railroad. As time goes on, it seems to me people’s modeling interests are creeping forward in time. That makes sense, of course, since we all tend to model subjects and eras that are familiar to us, especially things we saw as a kid. But even as more people model the modern diesel era, there is still room for something from classic steam days on our layouts.
