Hey Rick, your style of modeling is known as proto-freelance. It looks authentic and you are having fun. That's all that matters. Bottom line,...it's your railroad. Do it your way. The new addition looks great. 👍
Hi Rick. I said it before and I'll say it again. Your layout, your rules. Do what makes you happy and we will follow along just enjoying your efforts. Thank you for this update.
Great update. Keep having fun, your layout seems like a great mix of “inspired by reality” along with “designed with fun switching in mind”. Glad you are starting on the Walthers kit, I am a big fan of their structure models. - Chuck
Rick I think you know that I am a fan of your system. Thanks for the update!
That's what is so wonderful about this hobby, just do what you want and what you like. If and when I get the chance to have a layout of my own, I intend to REPRESENT the D&RGW along with the SP. However, I will be running my favorite types of locomotives and cabooses. Even tho I see it as modern day time wise, there will be F7's , SD9's, Alco RS3's etc, as well as more modern up to date locomotives. Plus, there will also be round houses and turn tables, even tho the real D&RGW tore theirs down a few years before I was born. Run what you like, model the industries you want. Even if the prototype railroad doesn't have those types of industries.
Looking good and you build your layout to your own specs and vision! Great job.👍👍
Thanks 👍
Proto freelance modeling is the best…you get to add your touch / imagination while still capturing the “jist” of an area
Some modelers want everything perfect, I when had a layout wanted what felt right to me as some what real. its all about enjoyment. you got great ideas.
A little here, a little there as far as progress.
Great choice on that kit. It's gonna be more than good enough. If you decide to rattlecan it, Rust-Oleum makes a 2X Ultra Matte called Perfect Gray. It's almost white. I've heard that you should avoid absolute white and absolute black on a layout. I think this kit is gonna come out so good, it will inspire you to keep pushing on. PS I'm a proto-lance guy too 😉
Looking good, and a great video! Proto-lancing is what I decided to do on my layout as well. I'm pretty much following a prototype for most of my locomotives and rolling stock, and I'm taking my inspiration from the prototype for the terrain and the types of industries served - but the specifics of what the industries will look like on my layout are going to be entirely what I dream up. I don't have the space to model them accurately anyway, nor do I have the interest in doing so. The prototype provides me some general guidelines for my creativity.
Good video and reasonable philosophy in my view!
Hey Rick , looking good , model railroading is like art , its all in the eye of the beholder..and as long as it's fun and keeping your interest that's all that matters.. cheers say hi to conductor Benjamin... till the next take care.
Outstanding
That's cool Rick, its going to look nice once you got everything in place. You could almost put another siding there in West -Pac on the forfront. Have fun!
It's coming along quite nicely their engineer Rick, and how is your conductor Benjamin doing today 👍👍
Hi Rick & it's is Randy and i like yours Video is Cool & Thanks Rick & Friends Randy
Good Afternoon it's the MRL/ man from west valley city, Utah.
You are doing good on the layout.
I had help yesterday on Dcc wiring glitch, but my friend got the power going the right way.
I'm just painting the letter for my train yard ( Billing,s train yard.
Oh we got the swap cooler up and running out in the garage.
I hope you have a great rest of your week.
From Neil schwerdt 😊
Thanks, you too!
Good video. Keeps us from getting too wound up about precise details.
Allen McClelland called it proto-freelancing.
Looks great with the new Structure in place from Ohio 😊
Would been nice to see a actual photo to understand difference of industry.
Nice overall video.
I would argue that a prototypical layout is extremely rare. And that a layout being freelance does not mean that it does not have prototypical elements.
I think we should stick with three categories, Prototype, Freelance (the majority) and Fantasy.
Great video
Thanks!

Hi Rick do what makes you happy otherwise you won't want to use what you have.
