As for me, I model in N scale, mid 50's era (with some interest in turn-of- the-century), and subscribe to the mail modeling magazines (used to take Short Line & Narrow Gauge Gazette, too, but it was too NG and not enough SL oriented so I canceled after a few years). I like free-lancing, but also insist on a reasonable degree of realism to prototype (maybe I'm just too lazy to go the 100%-prototype route?). In my condo, I have yet to rebuild the model layout I had 2 houses and an apartment back, but I have rough plans for the new one; basically my own free-lanced short line, plus a connection to mainline AT&SF if I can fit in the trackage for it.
