What's the one item you want on your layout, but don't yet have (and isn't a train)?

more room, bigger layout, etc, etc

Millhouse River Studio Turntable but that's coming in April!

Someday perhaps I will have the space to have two of those lift bridges installed side by side so I can have a representation of the Jersey Central RR crossing Newark Bay.  Someday, maybe never, but perhaps that will happen.

Any kind of industry.  I got some coming though!!

Just me to get off my butt and do more scenery.

One thing I want is the Millhouse river turntable, haven't been able to get that yet.  One thing my wife wants is Abraham Lincoln's House on my layout. Haven't gotten around to that either.

A hoist to raise the layout when not in use.

A turntable and roundhouse... just don't have the real estate to add them

I was just looking at those Millhouse River Studio turntables mentioned by @MartyE and @tcochran. They're mighty fine. The transfer tables look sweet too, and I'd probably go with one of those just to be different, but like you, I don't have the real estate and likely won't for the next two decades (until my kids move out and I can move the layout into the house). Actually, until they're out of college, I might not even have the funds for it!

I'll put this in two categories - 1. Likely to Happen Within 1 Year and 2. Dream Scenario

1. Likely to Happen Within 1 Year:

American Flyer Oil Drum Loader

2.  Dream Scenario

Scale version of the St. Louis Union Station - It Scales down to 12.5 Feet Wide

I'd like a coffee can full of assorted grave stones (I have three cemetaries planned), all the way from simple markers to some of those architectural marvels you find sometimes.  Maybe 1/48 or 1/64 would do just fine.

A BREWERY!!!  I'd love to have a turntable and roundhouse but don't want to give up the real estate.  

Well, have set aside room for the needed turntable, but may have to go with a transfer table instead ( have the Lionel PW version) and build my own turntable for the savings, upgrade in detail over time, and install on upper level planned service and classification extension.  More time and funds to work on the layout, overall.  Really need more room, never enough, right?

JD, I agree on the St Louis station...  Have been there many times when in town for a Cards game.

 I just want a White Castle with a big parking lot to display classic cars and seagulls stealing French fries !

Mountain #2....11' dia.        

I thought I'd like to scratch build a Steak n Shake. With the building style from the 40's through the 60's, those black and white floor tiles, also loved the roof marquee style sign with the logo and chase lights when I was a kid.

I might have room for a turntable, but, would have to scratch build that, too. I can't afford the cheapest one available, that I've found so far from any manufacturer. I think it would be enjoyable to just build my own, anyway.

I seen on the Weekend tinplate photos-videos 2-8-18 thread earlier where forum member "Steamer" scratch build a turntable, I thought it looked pretty cool! That's just one of the reasons I joined this forum, to see what others have done, and, learn from members here.

Me too! Or the crane car.

I'd like a number of those operating passenger stations from MTH.
