Do You Model the Railroads You "Grew Up With"?

In the early 60's I lived next to a Mopac branch in Clarksville Ark. I was in the 6th grade at the time. My first cab ride was on a GP-7 on that line. Later I moved to Dallas and by the early to mid 70's I had a house with a single car garage. Then I modeled a fictional 20's - 30's era steam road. A friend of mine introduced me to railfanning on the MOP just south of the house. I then started building models of MOP equipment. Now I live in a house with a 23' x 23' train room. I model the MOP on the Van Buren Sub (including the branch that ran by my house in Clarksville) during the mid 70's when cabeese till ruled and the Ultimate Predator wasn't gobbling up the world.
