What Era, Railroads, & Locomotives are you set on?

[Steamtrains]

My LC&P is set in the mid 40's to early 50's in the New Mexico area. (Both of the town names - Las Cruces and Portales are real towns....Our friend Fifer lives in LC..) There is no attempt to model the towns themselves . The only attempt at including anything prototypical is the inclusion of the Lometa roundhouse (<!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2974">viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2974</a><!-- l -->). The time period is just enough to encompass late steam and early diesel operations. The focus is on old, grundgy survivors of the steam heyday tucked away in the middle of nowhere....
