Are "pure" free lanced model railroads dead?

I don't think they're "dead", I think there are a lot more prototype modelers submitting stuff to the magazines. But wait a minute, David Barrow's Cat Mountain and Santa Fe adhered to Santa Fe practice, but it "replaced the Santa Fe" in part of Texas, remember? It served fictional towns and fictional industries. I know it's gone now, but it was a fictional railroad holding to ATSF practices. I like the "what if" layouts. What if the Pennsy had run a branch line to (insert a town not on the Pennsy), what it the ATSF had bought the Blooming to Kansas City portion of the Alton & Southern when GM&O offered it for sale in the late 40s, what if they Pennsy had survived into modern times and PC & Contrail never happened, etc. <br /> <br />It's all fun! <br /> <br />Ed
