Reply to "What era do you model?"

September 30, 1940.  Steam is everywhere, many obscure shortlines have survived the

Depression, although many have not, gas electrics still run here and there, automobiles

are about to turn bulbous for the 1941 models, losing their running boards, and the

aspens have turned screaming yellow in the Rockies.  The country is bootstrapping

itself out of a collapsed economy, although there is turmoil in Europe threatening.
