But this is a model railway discussion board.

 

and?  why does it just have to be about ideas to make models from these ideas, enthusiasts like to dream about a line that could have been either from real proposals of just from their head but without any intention making models of it.

 

have a browse of the forum, about half of all posts are about prototype discussion not just models

I suppose most model Railways, in practice or theory, are imaginary unless you're doing a strict architect's scale representation of an actual place.

I've got a couple of ideas of small layouts, more dioramas really, that I'm going to make (another round tuit job)... that are imaginary in the sense they're not a replica of a real place, but have the "vibe" and impression of many railway sites I've seen, walked around, worked on, whatever. I've even got a daft name for one, that oddly enough I had a vivid dream about.. Must lay off the cheese near bedtime 😁
