I went through the same problem while our local train club converted my
Mindstorms/Technic interest into a more general Lego town/train interest. Most
of my initial inspiration came from browsing brickshelf's huge wealth of train
show pics. So start there.
Then go out and about where you live and take a "real" look at some of the local
architecture and sit down to try and build what you like the look of. After
wrestling with scale and style, you'll quickly evolve your own!
