@BruceG posted:Good observations. And don't forget problem solving, which is a necessary element of the hobby. I too enjoy many facets, including the basics of modeling and miniatures. There's something elemental about creating a small world, and it goes much deeper than "playing with trains." Lastly, I'm pleased to have some grandsons to share the hobby with.
Nice-looking layout. I have to ask you. How is your bench work supported? I see what looks like shadows underneath but can't really make out any supports.
