hi gentlemen,
to me most plans are inspiring. And yes...my mind is drifting away, why not add this and change that, or leave out another part.
Without taking the whole space into account, without clearly knowing operational idea's critics are often to easily given.
While Brakie is still dreaming about his last and perfect to be (very small) layout Paul Dolkos made a wonderful start on his new huge industrial and warehouse switching layout. Model Railroad Planning and MR magazine both covered his awesome Baltimore based new layout.
On this Easter monday I admire Stein's patience and way of dealing with responses. I would prefer drawings or trackplans of other posters above sometimes easily given remarks. Lately I tried to draw Stein's new switching layout for myself, not just copy/paste his drawing. Only then I found out how cleverly he has used some subtle curves. The very same applies to the use of the space. If looking back at Paul Dolkos's "old" layout it is a miracle how many convincing scenes he was able to get in.
Looking forward to seeing more drawings on here, chapeau Stein,
enjoy Easter monday
Paul
