For myself I started out with strictly prototypical ideas of operation, based on railway operations in my local area. A mainline supplying two industrial spurs. The idea was good but as I tried to implement it in the area I had available to me, it became all but impossible. I continued building a more scaled down representation only to realize that the towns could not reasonably represented, the river would be in the wrong place. The more I thought about "what if?", I realized that was the answer. If I went back to the 70's, used a more rural area everything would fit into place. The names of the places will be real, locations of places fairly CLOSE
the only oddballs would be the tunnel portal and trestle which can be justified since the spurs I'm modeling never existed. The mining town exists today however the mine is long gone. The power plant elevation is a little high, but with freelance, that's acceptable.
Any that's my excuse, err STORY, what's yours?
