Just found this group a couple days ago, I changed email addresses
due to switching internet providers and Yahoo wiped all my groups.
Found this one in the desperate search to relocated all the ones
I was on.
I'm modeling in N, and have been playing around with different plans.
I'm hoping to 'break ground' here in the next couple weeks. The
space I got can best be described as a 'b'. The fat part is 3.5' by
6' with a 1.5' x 3' extension running along the wall. So it's
roughly 9' x 3.5'.
The track plan I'm going with is, I hope, a nice mix of continous
running with a little switching district inside the bigger section.
I'm really into operations, but space is tight and I'd like the
chance to run the trains more than a few feet so the continuos track
arrangement. This also allows me to 'railfan' my layout.
The best part of all this is, I'll be moving in 8 months as I
graduate college and get me a real home (or is that get my wife a
real home?) Funny story there, she actually asked me if I would be
OK with buying a house with a full basement and putting the layout
down there. I of course responded, no! I wanted a tiny spare bedroom
that has to accomidate guests too. <grin>
Well before I write yet another book-sized post I'll end this.
Hopefully I'll get pics going here when I start.

Oh, era is modern-day CSX, lots of run-through intermodal and coal
drag traffic. (Although I'm drooling over those SD90's Kato's about
to release.)
