I'm an avid collector of the New Hope and Ivyland and Strasburg Railroads loco and rolling stock who models them in locales and settings atypical to were they would normally be found running. Do you do this too for your chosen livery?

Not really, but that is not through any deliberate effort to avoid doing so. I model ATSF and UP and a bit of D&RG. But I model pretty generic "western US" terrain and my layout's downtown is modeled after Trinidad Co, one terminus of the famous Raton pass, ATSF's route to the west, etc. However, I make no special effort to keep anything about my layout protypical to ATSF, UP, and D&RG. I model some more midwestern type terrain, etc., and the trains go right through it.
One very uj n-prototypical thing I do, however, is repaint locos that were never on these roads in ATSF and UP livery if I like the loco anyway. For example, my Legacy Southern Crescent is now black and UP, and next month my new Norfolk and Western J will end up in UP grey and black, etc
