Great work as usual, and yes, freelance totally covers that. One of my own locomotives, is a GP38-2 , painted in totally fictional colours and roadname (it's in my avatar and it's colours are inspired by german steam locomotives, black and red ) , and then proceeded to stick in a EMD turbo charged engine sound decoder, while GP38-2 don't have these, mine is therefore a remotored one by the railroad, for a desire for more 'power', and had a good engine sitting about from a wrecked locomotive :-) As usual, the term ' it's my railroad' , should apply liberally to 'freelance'. Koos

"It's my railroad" : " Sagaponack Montauk and Cindys Harbor Railroad " ( Standard Gauge, fictitious ) , a wholly owned subsidiary of " Sag Harbor Shipbuilding and Drydock Co. " ( 3' gauge, also a fictitious company ). But, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it"
So! "freelance" Rules !!
There would not be an Outside Frame, 3' foot gauge, 2-4-4-2 Compound Articulated Steam Locomotive, if that were not true. ( and soon to be, a 3' gauge outside frame 2-6-6-2 )
Freelance can go to whatever end, but is better kept within the realm of "possibility / believability". It is a far more "free world" of model making, and story telling, and a far greater exercise of imagination couched in true research, that provides a plausible explanation of its existence. The phrase " It could have been " is the real anchor for Freelance.
