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.
Hi Mark, Well stated.
"What did you do on your layout today." Me, nothing. Stuck. More fun to take photos of a wreck than to work on the layout. I am struggling with Layout design. What, makes an Oval Loop track interesting? Two loops takes 4 switches!! Taking inventory of track, switches and X crossing. Carpet was easy, no planning needed. I put out a layout and let the kids show what was fun. (Miglet, he said, sometimes kids are tired of trains.) "What sorry **** is This?" lol
What makes a 4x8 OVAL interesting? THAT'S, what I did on my layout... nothing... yesterday... nothing.
