Ideas for a future college layout

[nachoman]

I will agree with Tom. If you just can't get way from layout building, perhaps build a small freemo module. And when the first freemo is done, put the first in storage and build a second. If operation is what you want, find a club, or move to N scale. A timesaver would get boring pretty quick. You could make a decent N-scale switching layout in 2x4 feet.
