What Era, Railroads, & Locomotives are you set on?

[Lester Perry]

I can't limit myself to a specific era or location. I really tried it, but it doesn't work. It only leads to abandon the current layout and starting a new one and so forth. I also found out that I have no real interest in operation, repetitve switching and such. My actual approach to build a layout may sound ridiculous to you because it is just a big loop made for (model-)railfanning rather than for operation. It is made up from segments/modules that show totally different locations and eras, subdivided by viewblockers. Its the only way I found to bring the steel industry, the lumber industry, the intermodal business, towns and harbours and rural scenes onto one single layout.

Jen it doesn't sound ridiculous to me and I feel safe in saying that it doesn't sound ridiculous to anyone here. OK sound off who thinks it is ridiculous. Actually that is great because that is the beauty of this hobby. I like all aspects of it. There are times I just start a train going and sit down and watch it run by.
