I model P4 for my UK stuff so in all honesty even the ME track wont please me entirely but I'm not going to venture down the P87 route. Most of the track will be hidden under layers on ballast dust grass and garbage.
Its each to their own really regards what track to use, i find that if you know something about a part that you model and if its stands out to you then you need to do it the way it should be, reading that back sounds like waffle but its the only way I can think to explain it, Lance knows that code 70 is as close to the track thats in Miami than the code 83 so he had to change. you get it.
Absolutely, Dave - no matter how much something appeals, or otherwise, to others, the lowest common denominator for your own work is whether it's satisfies you; I believe renowned artists throughout history have faced a similar dilemma so we're not alone there
For what it's worth, you've obviously suffered enough over the years with P4 - so take a break, and just enjoy making the most of some RTR stuff; you never know, it might just provide an unexpected eureka moment!
