Southern Pacific Switching Layout

[Justinmiller171]

You can do it, but you will never know what your ability level is if you continue to have a defeatist attitude and just think about whether or not you have the ability to do things without actually doing anything! You must leave that behind! You must also commit to a “plan” (no matter what it is, at this point) and BUILD it! You will never progress until you get some experience building a layout. In doing so, you will experience successes, and they will make you feel good. You will also experience failures. Do not let these depress you; rather treat them as learning experiences! Before you just tear it out in anger and frustration, study what happened … WHY that did not turn out to be all that successful? Analyze it. Determine what needs to happen to fix to what is giving you trouble.

I guess I will just continue on with my HCD plan, At worst it will be an operational layout that will be fun to switch and give me some experience in Model Railroading.
