Finally building a layout and loving it

[Boyd]

At 40 years old and after having train tables down in several of the many places I have lived in. I am finally building a bedroom layout with a small yard, a 2% climbing grade going up to a 2nd level on another side of the bedroom and it will be I think an interesting layout to operate. All I want to do is keep working on it untill the main line is finished. Its taking longer than I thought but its fun. This is one of the greatest things I can think of doing to get away from stress and the worries of life. I think I drew out 25 or more designs before I came up with this one. I will have to post the design of this one for the rest of you. My bedroom is only 11x13 and I think this is one of the more intersting designs I have ever seen for this little amount of space (not trying to pat my back here). Down the road I will try to post the design of it.

Hi Boyd,

Congrats on finding a design you both like and that will work.  I'm also 40 and use this hobby to relax from the busy IT work that I do.  Please post your layout as well as photos documenting your progress

Overcoming inertia and really starting is vital.  Take your time and have fun with it!  Post pictures of building progress!!!!
