No, correctness is mostly in the eye of the beholder.What really matters is
that we know how the various time periods looked so we can make the models and
layouts look plausible. I tend to divide them up as transition era , then
elimination of roof walk era with some cars having them and newer cars not,
then end of caboose era,the increase of graffiti era,and the contemporary till
today era. Much motive power and freight cars can suit multiple periods with
differences in paint, weathering, usage, and tagging. As we compress
dimensions to fit our scenes into our layout rooms we can also compress eras to
create the effect we want. Memory can be selective so we use that to our
advantage as we create 1:64 scale worlds....DaveBranum
