I've dabbled a bit in creating some of the very old parts. Trouble is, many of them are non-System*, HO-scale parts like gas pumps, policemen and of course vehicles. The LDraw didacts out there would say these need not be modeled as they do not connect to or interact with regular, brick-like parts. But on the other hand, many of the earliest building sets cannot be considered complete without these parts. (Consider the great 1310 Esso station, for example.)
*(Of course, I say "non-System", but in reality these parts are very much in-System—no less than the original "system", the System in Play!)
