how do you model your layout

Mine's a freelanced location and track plan, but I run assorted prototype locos on it depending on what I feel like running. Sometimes it's preserved 1st-generation diesels (it's a museum line), sometimes modern heavy freight (run through main line power hauling freight to industries on the line). I've considered building a prototype location - the station in my home town - but decided against it due to the size of model that would be needed and the amount of scratchbuilding that would be required (and there's always someone who looks at your months of work and says "oh, you've left 'insert scenic item here' out"). Freelancing means you're free to add as much or as little scenery as you like - I based the scenic work for my layout on some photos of an old New York rail yard found on www.oldnyc.com .
