Its actually more fun I find to truly show them how much time has passed. Back when I ran the games I let them hear stories about "The armored beast at Newtown!" Then let them go and see it. Its a rusted hulk with kids playing on it, it might have been a Abrams back in the day. But after a 150 years the engines seized up or been stripped, rust has eaten away at it, the tree sap from nearby pines has eaten away at it some more and its sunk a few feet into the ground. Then I point out the town HAS been trying to take care of it. But its a long lost battle.
