Gary S Wrote:I often think about things like this - 936 pieces. Say it took one minute per piece = 936 minutes. Divide by 60 = 15.6 hours. And that isn't including time for research and development, two trips to the LHS, time spent distracted watching college football, or just sitting back and thinking "am I crazy?"
I'm guessing 20 hours invested in this so far. :? And I really haven't even started on the thing yet, this 20 hours is just for the steenking concrete railings! And they still need paint and weathering and installation! Also still have to do the posts in between the sections.
This project better turn out to be a looker with that kind of time invested!
It will. The others have been FANTASTIC. For a modeler that professes to be new to scenery, you have a lot of us that have been doing this for 30+ years like myself beat by a long shot. But, as I say at work, there is ALWAYS something to be learned from EVERYONE, and I can't thank you enough for sharing your layout with us here virtually. I can only hope to get the priveledge of seeing it in person next time I am in the Houston area. I'll bring beer.
