One of the most enjoyable aspects of this hobby, and I guess one of the popular reasons why many of us are involved in it, is how many memories from our childhood involve the railroad in some way. For me, it's standing on a rickety wooden stool built by my Grandfather for me, to see over their farm fence and to watch the local freight trains pass by. I can still recall being as young a five, counting the wagons as I leaned against the top railing of the oil-stained fence.
All these years later, I would get so much enjoyment from recreating moments like these from my childhood, with the same locos and wagons, the same fields and bridges, the same farm fences. This hobby allows many of us to escape to a simpler time when many of us experienced some happy railroad memories like mine.
I like the freedom I can have with freelance, but I do like the effort which goes into prototypical modeling.
My next layout (after my current N scale layout), will be a combination of many elements including locations and scenery from my childhood and locos and rolling stock from my local area and brachlines, both of which are now long since gone.
