Reply to "Blessing in Disguise"

    Had to tear down my previous layout due to water in the basement. There was only enough to show as a puddle in a corner - but hey, it would've gotten worse. The old layout (never finished) was 6x16, had a bunch of MTH accessories as well as all my postwar, elevated track loops, 8 #022 switches, turntable, a streetcar line, etc., etc.

    It was never going to be finished. The new (and finished and last) layout is 4x12, two loops of 042 and 031 tinplate track, 4 #042 manual 031 switches and one # 712 manual 072, and my Atlas turntable with three sidings. Wiring (my nemesis) is easy: nothing under the table, all my postwar accessories take their power from the track and buttons are on the edge of the layout. No MTH accessories, no elevated track, no scenery other than green carpet with roadbed and streets painted on.

    In short, it looks like a 50's postwar sales display.

    I finally got what I always dreamed of as a kid.
