I tend to be like you. I just approximate and include the details I can/want
to include. That doesn't mean I havn't fallen into the trap of trying to be to
precise. For example I have a model that I call a Boston and Maine GP40-2:
http://www.nelug.org/members/kingsley/train/bmgp40/
I think the only reason I called it that is because that is what was in the
pictures I was working from. In reality you couldn't tell the difference
between this model and a GP38 or 4 or 5 other models.
