His point was that collectors accumulate trains by manufacturer, or era of production, or road name, or a myriad of other factors like the number of rivets a car has, or the variations in the type of truck sideframe, or even one of every car type. Operators accumulate trains by era of manufacture (prewar, postwar, or modern production) or era of prototype railroad operation (steam, transition, or diesel era).

But they would be no more likely to allow 19th century cars to be pulled by high-powered Canadian Pacific GE Evo locomotive than a die-hard postwar operator would pull a scale-sized Atlas O auto parts car behind their trusty Lionel 2020 turbine.
