Passenger train layout. Good idea?

How's this for a wild idea? Model a tourist line! I once designed, and still may build, a loop to loop tourist line in N scale, loosely resembling something in Colorado, with mountains and cliffs and tunnels, but in standard guage because it's easier and I'm not a rivet counter. Two trains could use a passing siding in the middle, similar to operation on the Cumbres and Toltec narrow guager. You could put a cave or waterfall or other tourist attraction at that point or at one end. Also at one end, cars could be shuffled around in a small yard, too, without much trouble, and you could put the servicing facilities there. You could also call it a railroad musuem preserving an old stretch of track. That way, you could have passenger cars from many different extinct roads on the same train, or you could customize them with your museum's name. Many will think this is crazy, but I don't. I think it would be super cool.
