What is modern image in model railways?
Modern image is a phrase that railway modellers use to describe a layout that reflects modern times. Interestingly, modern image doesn't feature as a category in a lot of manufacturer's era systems which describe specific and significant periods of our railway's history such as pre-grouping, the big four, early British rail and so on. This is because modern image doesn't represent a significant or specific period, just a modern one. To this end, the exact definition of modern image is somewhat fluid because what is modern today, will not be in years to come.
The problem with defining modern image is that we never categorically say that with the passing of time an era that was once modern (and therefore classed as modern image) no longer fits the category. The result of this is that we have been using the phrase modern image for so long now that it pretty much covers any period from the introduction of first generation diesels to the present day.
Granted most modern image layouts will always portray what is happening out there in the real world today, but, don't be surprised if during a search for related topics the odd Deltic pops up on your screen even though they have been retired for more years than they were in service.
