I am new in this hobby and love it.  I am making a layout in my dinning room and want to know what period in time this particular locomotive was active.  0-6-0 steam engine from the set called Chattanooga.  I want to make the layout period correct.  Thanks for your imput

WWI to WWII era and some still were around for about 10 to 15 years after WWII. The loco was used for switching and not for mainline service, so accordingly, since you are going for realism, you may want to buy some turnouts so you can do some switching.
