I'm always much more creative when designing small layout. Large rooms give me the blank sheet syndrome! And so far, most small layout I've seen had a lot of charm and realism. I suppose it's why ideas I develop on small fictive ISL always end up on the club layout!
-------------------------
Matt,Small ISLs need more thoughtful planing then your average layout since everything on the ISL needs to be independent of each other much like a industrial park or urban industrial branch.
You may recall it took me just over 2 years to get the right combination for Slate Creek.I'm satisfied when built Slate Creek will give me years of operational enjoyment even though its only 12" x 10' andd very simple in design.
--------------------------
Getloose,I live for the small ISL since the bulk of my past layouts has been industrial switching layouts ranging between 1' x 6' to 1 x 12'(which is the largest to date)...I even had a 1' x 4' N Scale ISL years ago.
