I tend to agree with Wolf.
Here in Victoria, according to the local "pusher", I'm a very rare bird when it comes to modelling. He lists the following reasons.
First, I freelance.
Second, I hand lay my own track.
Third, I don't use code 100 rail. (Though I'm not unique in this respect but am part of a small minority).
Fourth, I operate my model railway realistically.
Fifth, my layout is fully sceniced.
Sixth, it's has no provision for a continuos run.
Seventh, I use staging yards.
Eighth, even though I freelance, I maintain era accuracy (1958).
Ninth, I kitbash plastic steam (Well, tenders anyway).
Ten, I weather everything.
How do others stack up when it comes to your modelling preferences?
