I could take my Housatonic Railroad GP-35's and smack them down on a friends layout based in Washington State and call it Connecticut. Unless he has signs with known local businesses and industries, or HO scale Washington State lisence plates on his vehicles, you would probably never know the difference.

Absolutely! With ISLs you are modeling the business side of industries that the general public seldom sees and with todays concrete box style buildings one style fits all from coast to coast.Slate Creek or Westbrook can be anywhere USA and still be 100% correct--until you start adding signs on the rear sides of buildings that is and that really limits down to a certain area.There are non location named industries such as Mid State warehousing General American Plastics etc.
Your Housatonic Railroad GP-35's or Mal's Guilford locomotives would be at home on Slate Creek and still be completely believable.
