You got to love both. Without the frieght and industry you have no drive to your layout... no purpose. Yet without the people and people movers there isn't life to the layout. People are the purpose of all the supplies going everywhere. <br /> <br />My church railroad I've really shot for both. People have got to get places, and there is so many stories to tell at the station and of people on the trains and where they are going. While the industries (mine and port) tell their own tales of supplies constantly needing to get someplace. <br /> <br />I think your robbing yourself if you sompletely cut out the possibility of either in your modeling. Practically almost everywhere rail is both people and stuff is going... maybe not in a loggin operation or a heavy industrial yard, still maybe at least have a corner of your table with a tiny kitty corner of some passing line of passenger car line.
