Thanks Kurt. Like many others, I've been inspired a lot by the work done by Lance Mindheim, but must say that you're No. 1 in my book! Doubt that my modeling will ever be on the same level as the work you've done, but I'll be happy if my efforts just come close to yours.
It's so refreshing to see modelers taking a prototype approach to both track planning and operation and clearly demonstrate that you don't need switching puzzles with dozens of switches and short tracks to have "operation" on a small layout. Seeing the work done by you, Lance and a few others will hopefully get more people interested doing layouts like these.
Once I get the health issues resolved, then perhaps I can really get going on this plan. For now, I'm quite happy just being able to operate the plan some and stop wasting so much time planning and achieving nothing. I may even get up enough nerve to post photos of what I manage to accomplish.
