Lee, It seems as I get older, I like the earlier and earlier eras. I finally realized that what I really like is wooden rolling stock. At the present time, I can tolerate steel hoppers and tank cars, and some steel underframes, but most cars should be of wooden construction. Of course, being mostly a narrow gauge modeler, it is easier to justify wooden cars at a later date. At present time, it looks like I won't go past the 1920's, which happens to be the decade my parents were born. So 1953 is modern for me also, but I would be modern for you. This also means that I should back date or get rid of some of my standard gauge rolling stock or at least relegate it to the display cabinet.
One thing about modeling your earlier eras, you don't need to model all that air brake rigging and safety appliances. I also remember seeing your link and pins couplers on your Sn2 models at Hickory this year.
