 Scot: I fall on the detail end of the scale. With locomotives I superdetail to an individual example where possible. Same with rollingstock. I scratchbuild nearly all my structures to my own designs, based on historical examples if possible. My chosen period is 1900-1915 so the research is both a challenge and an additional reward. I tend to add details such as: birds nesting in the tiles of the roof, fiber optic lit lamps in the station masters office, papers on the desk, doors and windows ajar, litter and puddles on the ground, cracks in the cement, wheel marks in the gravel, individually laidup and glazed windows to mention several. You know you are detail oriented when you have an automotive inspection mirror in your tool kit ;) Randy
