I am some-what retired since 1999 and totally retired since 2016. I have been working on my layout for years and create and scratch build all my projects. Since I am getting older I rearranged my layout by removing most of my switches so my Prewar and Post war O Gauge trains would run better. My 9'X16' layout was getting harder to reach and crawling under the layout is becoming a chore. By removing my switches I opened up a lot of space to create new things.
I volunteer at the Holyoke MA Soldiers Home, the Holyoke Senior Center and Look Park in Northampton MA. Since the Virus we have not been able to to to work at these places...

Gene,

I was also thinking about minimizing wy switches on my next layout. Has that worked pretty well. Nice that you have found time to try and volunteer. clapping
