I've been following this thread with interest as I'm just about to start my Florida Highland shortline layout in my shed
I couldn't agree more . Less is more in my eyes too.
Somehow layouts cramped with track look toy trainish to me.
There seemed to be a tendency in the old days to fill every available inch of plywood with track and run it with brightly coloured non weathered trains .
I've already removed a couple of turnout from my first plan including removing one complete industry
From what I've seen of the States and that's not much, everywhere I'm interested in modelling, always seems to be very spaced out. The building not the people
Freelancing does also seem to be the way forward too, nobody can say that's right or more usually that's wrong....
