Steam and transition era, anything from the 30's through the mid 50's. My favorite is late 30's, the time of the steam Hiawathas. The way my layout is set up, I can't really focus on a particular year like some guys do. I've got Standard Gauge, a couple of 0 gauge mainlines, and an inner loop with postwar accessories all crammed into a rather small space. I periodically change eras by swapping out vehicles, and I can even change over to a not-very-realistic version of Europe when I run my ETS and MTH European trains. I do have some newer equipment, up to the mid 80's when the Milwaukee Road went under, but that mostly gets run at the toy train museum rather than at home, and I don't do much with it. I'll probably unload a lot of the more modern diesels, etc. one of these days.
