I totally agree Tom. The North Shore club has an ideal spot

for a RIP facility, with 3 stub tracks on the aisle near the main yard and engine facility. I've advocated modeling this as a car repair facility and actually leaving two tracks open for genuine "bad order" freight cars (which we always seem to have) and then populating the other track with cars up on jacks, welding equipment, etc -- cars as scenery. No one seems to like the idea. Tim O'Connor
Maybe that's how to overcome the Better Homes & Gardens effect - put a line of idle gons or box cars on the far track, or at the end of a few sidings. They wouldn't be a factor in an operating session so presumably wouldn't impose themselves on your conscienceness. They'd just be there, as scenery, "present but not voting".
