Whose going to take the bull by the horns and tell Brooks Stover that his
layout is just a toy and not a scale model?

I'll give you a better one. I've seen the HO scale model of the Solano
Railcar Ferry ( http://cprr.org/Museum/Ephemera/Solano_Ferry_Model.html ),
and I've heard Bill Rubarth describe the immense amount of research he and
associates put into building it.
I'd like to see one of these "they're all toys" yoyos look Mr Rubarth in the
eye and tell him it's just a toy boat, and then start talking about the
little boats he had in the bathtub when he was a child.
Most of us in model railroading have model rolling stock & structures that
we have modified & improved by studying photographs of other sources of
prototype information, or, if not, we rely on reputable manufactures to have
done that and got reasonably close. A three-dimensional model that attempts
to accurately represent something in the real world is no more a "toy" than
is a two-dimensional representation, a painting.
