Holland Southwest Building 4

[Gary S]

Quite true, but that being the case, why not model something with a little more character?

Why model Appalacian coal instead of Los Angeles Surf? Why model 1940 Chicago rather than 1950 Boston? Why model freight instead of passenger? Diesel instead of steam? Winter instead of spring? Mountains instead of desert? Logging instead of industrial? Harbor scene or deep woods? Character comes in many forms. Modeling contemporary freight with its industries is just as legit as modeling, for example, Colorado in the 1900s.
