Yeah that was him, he had to backtrack to pick up another telegram before heading out to the main trail, haha!Was that the one I saw going the wrong way?
..., I began taking inventory of rolling stock, on my layout. ... For now, I divided the cars currently on the layout, as well as some cars stored near the layout. I divided the cars by build/stencil date, and surprisingly came up with the following:
1950 - 1959 1 car
1960 - 1969 5 cars
1970 - 1979 19 cars
1980 - 1989 13 cars
1990 - 1999 1 car
This is just the start, but it is surprising, considering that my time frame of interest is primarily 1960 - 1969. ...
Joe,
I also have a number of cars on my 1970-72 era layout whose build dates are way too late. But I only really care about what can be seen from a 3-foot distance: the road name/number, paint scheme, and the general body style of the car. Many freight car type appearances didn't really change much between what was built in 1968 versus 1988. If a critic needs a magnifying glass to point out what is incorrect about a particular car, I simply ignore it.
