Lou, Great point about many people who like trains like cars too! Just as I don't like modern railroading that much, I don't see anything built for the highway today that I really like. My '04 Hyundai Sonata is the last of a breed in my humble opinion. So I like steam and first generation diesels and like fewer and fewer cars as we rolled into the '60s and '70s. Well, I'll be 63 soon, so that explains it I guess. It's a nostalgia thing I suppose.
All that said, I do enjoy seeing modelers like Jason who run modern equipment and have modern vehicle on their layouts. I just don't model that era. Again, Jason you have done a fabulous job! and those autoracks look impressive! (Makes me long for the open autoracks of the '60s.) It was really cool seeing a load of Mustangs roll down the rails.
