Of course that is plenty for me because my passion in mdel railroading is switching industries, rather than mainline running.I know you were trying to be helpful and I appreciate that. If you had the space it wouldn't take you long to fall in love with main line running especially when there are customers along the way. Or get to see a 50 car coal drag winding along a mountain side beside a river through a small town across the river and through a tunnel at a scale 10 - 15 MPH

Actually I get to do that sort of thing on the modular railroad when we set up at a show, but even there I find that after a couple of laps around, I'mm looking to get off the main and do some switching. Of course some of it is that with the size of some of our set ups, a couple of laps around the layout (we use cordless dcc throttles) following my train has me ready to do some switching in order to rest.
