Great progress, Howard!
You are so right abut the planning and work, this is my first real layout I built on my own and yeah, it was a lot of work, far more than I ever thought it'd be...
Lee, you have done a lot. It looks good as does yours Howard. Your absolutely right about how much planning it takes. I think about it for at least two months if not longer. Then I attempt to draw it, but it's mostly in my head. I change my mind a lot, but when it comes time to build it everything goes in it's place. My 7ft extension didn't come out quite the way I envisioned it, but in the end I'm happy with it.
I got one for you guys.My cat chessie sleeps were I have my layout.He can be found sleeping right next to it.He some times come in and watch the trains.
