How far can you stretch Rule 1?

[Luke Piewalker]

I esentially treat the two things (layout and stock) as separate things. My layout is esentially a series of vignettes squashed together on my board.
I run what I want, what I like and what I can get hold of.

What I find most 'interesting' is the choices that people make when faced with the necessity to compromise on something.

The question is a bit of a paradox, since Rule 1 means you run
whatever you like on your layout thus  the rule  means there are
no limits to what you run , ie infinity.

Thus stretching the rule is a contradictory statement in this case.

Stretching is really about " justifying" certain operations as prototypical
by  suggesting that a certain train, loco or livery appeared  for a short
while in a location or time period which was may or may not  have happened
in real life.

In the end it's just a bit of fun ............

Agreed, it's about that moment when you've finished a spot of modelling, the scenery. building etc to the best of your ability, that you want that hour or so of pure escapism that you get running the very items that you built the layout for in the first place.
