I should have added to my first post, that I do almost all of my railroad modeling in 2' X 4' sections/ modules, that are required to have a two track mainline, at a fixed height, across the front of the module. The inner track's center is 7" in from the front of the module, and that leaves 16" X 48" of space for whatever else I would want to put there.
My new modules are 30" X 4', so there is 22" of "fill-in" space. Because of this, I was able to create the Cindys Harbor Seaport Village and Museum....... very loosely based/inspired by the Mystic Seaport Village and Museum, in Connecticut.
Yeah, Ship modeling was where I started, and that quickly led to HO trains, then HO scenery, and then Sci-Fi.
I printed, framed, and hung this picture in my living room.
When visitors ask " where is that ?", I answer, down in the basement. Then, I have to take them there to see that it really is.
I do miss the Salt Water.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
