What things from the prototype inspire your modeling. What have you learned about prototype operations that have changed your mind about things on your layout?  If you stick to what real railroads did in certain eras, your entire layout will improve, even if you model a freelanced railroad. 

Join the crew as we discuss how modeling prototype practices have helped our modeling, building, and even narrowed down our choices.  Do you follow prototype practices? Please let us know.
