Is there anything more fulfilling than knowing every possible detail (many ethereal) left entirely to your imagination has been included on your Pike? As many of you have stated (paraphrased): "Regardless if no one else sees the detail; I know it is there!" Perhaps that uncompromising extra "stretch" makes the difference between fine modeling and "creating." Is there a "point of deminishing returns?" Probably to a pragmatist, there is such a "point." But, to others who hold indelible images of their past life's experiences in and around railroading; no such thoughts of moderation occur. For me, to see the trains "fit" into the environs, rather than the other way around; greater realism is brought to the trains themselves. In so many words this has already been said also. Still, it bears repeating because how many crafts reward the maker with such a culmination of skillful realism, robust imagination and nostalgic story telling? Man, are we lucky or what?
