Moonson posted:What did I do - at, near, on, or by - my layout today? I walked past and along it, on my way out the door to the garage, and smiled, happy at knowing I had allowed myself such an indulgence and creative effort, through the years, since its 1995 inception with the first shipment of lumber. Here are the parts I walked by today...
I'm enthusiastic about having the whole shebang, still, after 20+ years of such play.
Makes sense to me, that’s a fine looking layout!
I get what you mean. I will often walk into my layout room, stand in the middle and just stare at what I’ve created. Sometimes I’ll open up the copy of the magazine that has my layout article in it (It sits on a table in the living room for now) and think to myself, “Wow, I never thought I’d ever be in a position like this,” and just be happy with what I have.
Mine was a pile of lumber less than 3 years ago. There are some days I can’t believe what I’ve done in such a short time (and how well-received it’s been among those in the hobby, both locally and from my internet-print efforts).
There’s a great line to a song I think of as a good mantra for people like us:
“It’s not having what you want, it’s wanting what you’ve got”
