Andre, Yes it seemed this would be the direction you would start to emphasize soon. Back in the ‘80s when fighting N scale trackand steamers, I did a good bit of scratch building. I have a diorama of what I call the Boyce Homestead where I grew up and we still own. Two story frame house, three out buildings, and all the trees and hedge from what it looked like when I was growing up. There is no way I could do it now. Bigger models are better.
I can’t help on the PW question, but you will soon get your answers
I like reading your comments. Keep them coming. Both daughters would ‘discuss’ a problem at college or now work with me, and I would hardly reply. They worked it out just talking to a listening ear.
