How Does where you grew up compare with what you model?

How does it compare? A lot. <br /> <br />I live near a single track main of the KCS, with modern EMD and GE engines, with a few Tunnel Motors, SD50's, and BNSF run thrus thrown in, pulling grain hoppers, 60' boxcars, and double stack/intermodal flatcars as the main rolling stock. No passenger trains at all, save for a few excursion trains. <br /> <br />I model the 1945-1950 period, with the CB&Q and CRI&P as the main roads, in SE Iowa, not west-central IL (where I live), with Superpower steam, mikados, and EMD and Alco streamlined diesels, many manufacturing companies, and a double track main with passenger service. (But I'm only modeling an industrial district thanks to the amount of room I got.)
