My reason for starting on the Great Central is that is where I grew up and spent around 10 years trackside,(I actually lived close to it for longer), but I am already finding that is hard to remember things as well as you think you did, I do have access to pictures, but I think it is fair to say that folk don't seem to be around now who do remember much. My layout will be "representative", and is already giving me pleasure re living part of my "yoof". I walked along the track, climbed trees and built dens and fished on the canal and river along side it, but when I see a photograph, I realise I remember less than I thought I did. I have realised there's not much point asking questions about fine detail as I get different answers to the same question. Fair to say if anyone who knew the area I am modeling sees it, they will recognise it.
