Big Boy 4005, Gracious of you to provide all that information and perspective, above, in your recent replies. I had only a vague idea about such standards and such an organization, but now that I have those links, which took me to the "Model Railroad Layout Tours," I nearly gasped at the long list of drool-worthy layouts, complete with beautiful photos on the tour. I only hope I have the time to see them all, via my computer, let alone consider tweaks and adjustments, thus newly inspired by your replies to BEARDOG, to my own creative efforts. You've taken considerable time and remarkable patience and diplomacy in typing out such helpful replies.
Thank you, again, for providing a very interesting resource through the perspective of your objective viewpoint and knowledge (!)
