Well for me I tend to keep the layout itself not too specific in period & make no pretence to be otherwise.
The trains themseleves however have to be pretty close to accuracy (with some "modellers licience" thrown in).
Our SNCB exhibition layout "St.Laurent en Ardennes" follows this principle (it also has a fair amount of working accessories) - it has a good varied selection of trains, it's fun to operate & the public seem to like it, so we must be doing something right !
At the end of the day virtually every model railway compromises somewhere - personally I feel that if the owner/operator(s) are happy & enjoy their creation thats all that really matters.
