@railhead53 posted:Mark, thanks. It has been a while and it is good to be back and working on another railroad. This one will be much smaller than the last, but I am having fun with it. Bill B.
Bill,
While I really liked your last layout, I think smaller can be better. While I would like to have a longer run, a twice around roughly the perimeter of my 11x11 room will keep me busy for many years. Some modelers who are around our age perhaps bite off more than they can chew. IF someone has help from other modelers, then a larger layout can work, but if a person is doing it by himself like I am, smaller works nicely.
