Reply to "How many of you hand lay your own rail?"

In my world, it's about time. I'm 59 years young. The layout I have is a fair size. I did not lay my own track or switches. I have maybe 10% of the scenery done. Still have to place a fee bridges. So there is still a tremendous bit of work to be done. Are Layout ever 100% complete? I don't think so. In our imaginations there's always something to make better or add.

We haven't even mentioned working on locomotives and rolling stock. Something always needs new or different trucks. Stirrups, ladders and other details always are acquiring attention. The list of locomotives that need paint seems to always be growing.

It's a never ending adventure. Depends how, where and what interests you the most to where your focus is. Mine is everything, locomotives, cars, details, track and scenery. Running the trains is the goal.

So it's all about time, and we definitely don't have an abundant amount of that.
