I'm clearly in the fantasy railroad camp.  All I got to say about the subject is that I model a parallel universe in strict prototypical fidelity. By golly, It's my pike and I'll model it any way I durn well like. Still though I do try to improve my skills and to that end I've been exploring craftsman and laser kits and been having some fun.[attach:fileid=/sites/model-railroad-hobbyist.com/files/users/Bindlestiff/dscn3453.jpg]

This is an AMB laser kit with Campbell shingles on the roof and some stripwood for a platform.  A  well engineered kit.  I loved the peal and stick layered windows with presized glazing. I brush painted it with craft store acrylics in my fantasy road colors which I think echo the colors of late summer in California.
