National Model Railroad Association VOLUME 35 NUMBER 1 SPRING 2005 MODELING MINEOLA a heavily traveled main, two junctions and a variety of traffic make an old standby a gem to model / WALTER WOHLEKING CONTEMPORARY TRENDS in layout design encourage model railroaders to emu- late a prototype with their selection of loco- motives, cars and scenery, to execute their trackplans with prototype-appropriate Layout Design Elements (LDEs), and to operate according to prototype practices employing staging. Because all of this is a lot easier said than done, result often play lip service to concept, and good intentions metamorphose into a collection of rolling stock lettered for the prototype passing through a fictional location on a route that never existed, all regulated by a fast clock to increase the frequency of train appearances and operating interest. Make no mistake about it. This can be a formula for a very satisfying model rail- roading experience. But if emulating the prototype is really what is desired, then it can also be a stretch. Model railroading is truly the art of compromise, and as its prac- titioners model railroaders daily face that challenge from concept through construc- tion to operation of their creations. If truth be told, however, the universal aim of rail- road modelers everywhere is to find a rea- son for as many different locomotives as possible with as many different consists as possible to have as many different things to do as often as possible on their layouts.
