As a datapoint, I model 1938. Just barely in the “early-modern” steam era (which I define as A’s and Y6’s are around, but not J’s).

I have been running under the assumption that most folks do the transition era thing so that they can run both steam and diesel power, but if a different timeframe is our sweet spot then that is what I'll shoot for.

With so much diversification in interests out there, it is very hard for me to know which direction to head in terms of what kind of car for what time period would be a good candidate. Please take a few minutes to look at what body styles are available and what would best fit your needs for one or a few additions to your fleet.
