Modeling Era: What era do you model? Early Steam ( - 1918) Standard Steam (1918 - 1941) Steam / Diesel (1941- 1955) Early Diesel (1955 - 1975) Modern Diesel (1975 - present) I mix them all! I don't model

Hmm, you may want to add that this is North American based. Adding in electrics would be more inclusive....

I model steam, electric and diesel, from 1835 to the present.

The one that is 14" up your ass?

I'm guessing it is based on the fact that the world's largest asshole (you) have joined the group. But you need to ask him, dumbfuck.

I guess we'll just both call each other STEVE CAPLE, since you can't seem to keep things straight, okay STEVE? Kind of fun actually!!

Well, this is a poll on "era", not prototypes. But you're quite right that the eras chosen are defined by general NA practice. The dates suggest categories more like "pre-WW1", etc...

Maybe running the poll again using decades or 20 year periods since the earliest railways would be more accurate and interesting. Subcategories for each including steam, diesel, electric, etc. would make it even better. Just list all the options for every era to avoid any bias.

Also including a choice of scale and gauge for each would be good, too.

STEVE CAPLE we all see through your little act. Come clean so folks here can get back to MR discussion.

Funny STEVE CAPLE this routine is getting really old.. We all see what you are doing here.

Listen steve, settle down- you cannot risk another stroke getting all worked up here. Also- it's considered "bad form" to have these exchanges like this with both our posts so close in timestamps- it's obvious that you and I are the same person- just posting as different people.

Thanks- and please stop crossposting here. Fuckface.
