Hi Greg,
I'm not sure what is any more "phony" about steam charters than any other steam these days. No one that I know of is attempting to pass off charter photos as "authentic--back-in-the-day" images. We have fun attempting to see how close we can come to re-creating "back-in-the-day", knowing that no one can truly go back in time. We just happen to find that a freight train using historic freight cars is a bit more photogenic than a passenger train hauling cars that don't model anything historic. As you say, to each his own. Some folks will turn out to photograph a diesel hauling or pushing a steam engine. Me, not so much.
