@TheGulfwind thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Interesting video, and thanks for the shoutout. To me there is no greater compliment to a prototype model railroader than to see a scene and say “I know where that is.”

@awblenko not a problem and thanks for the photos

Great video, Steve. Prototype modelling may be the easiest to explain, but in my opinion, it is the HARDEST to model. I model closer to prototype because my railroads, my operations and my locations all follow the prototype. But I found it much easier to not try and match every structure (key street overpass and a few key structures notwithstanding). But I'd consider myself a proto freelancer based on this. I think there is a lot of gray area in between. It will be a debate here in the states for years to come.

@joelupinacci011073 thanks mate. It is never cut and dried and you could argue that even prototype modellers are in fact proto freelancers where they have to make compromises etc. A really interesting topic to discuss. Thanks again for your thoughts 👍
