I built my layout in the mid 1990s when I was in my mid 40s, and my kids were about 8 (son) and 10 (daughter) years old.

I did it in a fever figuratively (very intensely and passionately) like a mad scientist, working on it when I got home from my law office until the wee hours of the morning when I was on a roll. I built most of it in about 6 months.

As I reflect back on it, I think I was out of my mind when I did it. LOL.

I had great fun with my son and daughter when I built it. I think it helped them grow mentally to be involved. It became the family art project when we did the scenery together, our crowning achievement being our Popsicle Stick Yankee Stadium.
