H1000 posted:I hear you Elliot, I run high action layouts for kids to see lots of things running which mostly consist of cheaper non-scale engines running up and down steeper than normal grades. The kids love it, I'm sure the prototypical guys grin and say "that's cute."
At the end of the day your tag line says it all: In this hobby there is no right answer, except what makes you happy.
That was what enterTRAINment was, a public display layout at Mall of America. It had 9 independent loops, with all kinds of multiple trains running on each. It also had just about every postwar accessory ever made, and a number of home made animations. There was one loop that had 5 trains, running 2 at a time, in opposite directions, and passing each other on the far side of the loop.
My current layout is totally different, and is akin to what serious two railers design. Yeah, that's why I have that tag line.
