Aside from the many comments,input,suggestions and my inability to leave well enough alone I have learned much.
The most important thing I learned during construction (still doing stuff) was not to be totally satisfied with what I have done,especially where structure placement
and the overall look of the scenes is concerned.
During the 2+ years that I have been working on my layout,I have managed to redo every area on the layout. This included adding some additional buildings. This process did not happen over night.
It took a lot of thought before I even made any changes. I needed to figure out how these changes would impact not only the scene but the layout as a whole.
Basically what I ended up doing was some creative scene compression. By doing this I feel that I not only gave each scene the feeling of being more alive but I think that this also gives
them the feeling of looking very busy.Before I did this,the scenes looked a little to spread out with too much unused space.
Now when I look at the end results,the layout now has the look that I was aiming for-compact and busy.
Finally I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped with the track plan and added their comments and suggestions.I appreciate it more than you know.
