I take a lot from the people who post here. There are always some great ideas that pop up and I know for sure that eventually I'm going to steal...I mean borrow the ideas. 
That said, I also take a lot of ideas and info from just about anything I stumble across when surfing on line or strolling through the LHS and the magazines I get in the mail. My bookmarks for my train folder in FireFox is getting to be quite extensive. What I try to do is pick my favorites and go with them. Craig Bisgeier's Housatonic RR site and Tim Warris' CNJ both convinced me I wanted to have a harbour scene with piers and float bridges on my layout.
If it wasn't for the wealth of information that people have so graciously shared here and on line else where, I'd be no where near the level of modeling that I'm at today...and there's still a ton more for me to learn and do!
As the saying goes..."Mimicry is the highest form of flattery".
