I guess for me my layout is a time machine. I am trying to recapture what I would have seen had I know what I was looking at.
I spent hours watching trains while growing up but there were only 3 different types of locomotives that I saw. Steam, streamliners, and Fairbanks Morse. (anything diesel with outside walkway was an FM). As far as location and era, that too is part of my childhood. We always watched the trains and counted the number of locomotives. I remember seeing one with 12 covered wagons on the head end, but I could not tell you what kind they were.
Good topic.
