Like 34C I have set my layout in a specific place (SW England) and a specific time (Late Summer 1946).
I therefore try to be very careful when buying stock to make sure it is representative of what was actually running at that time and place. I must admit, however, that I do sometimes step outside these criteria if a particular wagon catches my eye. Usually it's a 'private owner' wagon with a particularly attactive livery.
When it comes to locos and carriage stock I stick rigourously to the rules and I can thus get away with the odd freight wagon or so.
