I agree, as a new person to the hobby, it seems as though things are very rigid in the way that the "experts" model.  I hear over and over again about prototypes and how "that's not prototypical" or "you shouldn't use this code rail because that's not prototypical", etc.  I thought the point of this hobby was to have fun and create a miniature world of your own.  If that looks like reality, great.  If it doesn't and it makes you happy, great too!  I feel like there is this group of expert modelers who go around critiqueing everyone's layout because it doesn't meet some lofty standard.  Who cares, it's a hobby!!!!!  :) Mike
