I find it refreshing that people are modeling different locales rather than the normal west coast or Midwest city scenes that seem to be what MR Magazine lean towards.

Absolutely! Again the beauty of a ISL is the modeler is dealing with a rail served industrial area of a city and the best part is that can be located in any city USA since modern shoe box designed industrial buildings looks the same.We also need to learn urban scenery from broken skids to trashed filled roll offs.Even our selection of vehicles is important.
The modeled industry may need to use 53 or 60 foot boxcars or may receive acid tank cars.We find this out by doing basic research..
