Cool ideas... modeling past and future, as well as present can provide the sense of "reality" that can enhance plausibility. Abandoned buildings and unused track can look very interesting (consider them scenery), and empty lots, fenced in with "for lease will build to suit" signs, "no trespassing", etc. will add texture, the term used by Dave Frary to describe how to make our models more appealing. And consider the prototype-every structure, every track, every road isn't used all the time. But as with any effect, this must be used selectively (unless you want to really save on loco, track, rolling stock, dcc - hmm the all scenery approach sunds like the notrack module).
