I want to focus on the fun stuff and leave out the boring, dangerous and uncomfortable stuf. To me the fun is planning the moves and then watching the trains move through highly detailed scenes. No number of brake tests and 3-step protection will make switching a single siding interesting after the novelty of doing it once wears off. Similarly, in designing a layout, I will move industries around, and adjust them to make the model rr crew's jobs more interesting and the layout more visually appealing. I am all for following the prototype as long as it is fun and interesting.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125155303909803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108382665458119460.post-28951307739926071062015-10-26T11:50:56.825-04:002015-10-26T11:50:56.825-04:00I think Paul hit the nail on the head and drove it...I think Paul hit the nail on the head and drove it through the board. Go " Full Lance (Mindheim)" with prototypical things like brake sets and releases, 3 step protection, etc. and there's satisfaction aplenty to be had in a small space.
