Must be very relaxing to watch trains running on that layout.I suppose there are a few different categories we put ourselves in. One being the kind who strictly likes the modeling and cares less about trains, one being overly into operations and the whole layout is nothing but yards and switching, the other being somewhere in between. For me, I'd be happy with one track meandering through countryside and town but if I have my way in a new house, I'll have at least some operations and alot of scenery. After starting and tearing down a few layouts, with this one, and my wife telling me I will never finish one, I just wanted to run some trains and do scenery that I could finish.

Charlie B Wrote:My friend sets up the layout somewhere in downtown Waynesburg. The only article I can find is from 2010 and it says the Freedom Center, which was an old furniture store. I thought he told me they moved it but maybe this is the newest location.I go through Waynesburg every day on the way to work. Its about half way to the office. My boss takes very good care of me and my family for my time. He makes it so I have zero worries.
Joe that is a great layout. I can do some operations on mine but most of the time I just have two trains running the main and I will sometimes run one on one of he two branchlines. I was into N gauge in the middle 70's but could never get dependable locomotives like they offer today.
I hope your dream for a new home can come through. Working those long hours has to pay off some time.
