Jen; <br /> <br />I wouldnt do it from the direction you are proposing; going from being an expert in a certain aspect of Garden railways to being able to do it better than others around you is a tried and proven way to go; not the other way around. However ypu never know you may hit on an aspect of this hobby that you are better at than most others. <br /> <br />I know my strength is to be able to get very interesting layouts into the space available; that is really not anything I would be bothered trying to sell. Howevr I have benefitted from specialties of other hobbyist, such as Hillman clamps and Jigstones. I have other strengths as well such as the civil engineering side of things and electrically as well. <br /> However I do know i am not very good at and only have a small interest in kit bashing so I keep that side of it to a minimum or farm it out. <br /> <br />For instance i want to get some scenic large panels done say 3m X 2m of a rain forest scenery, to slot in between posts to cover my back fence so i have been in touch with what is left of the local hippies; who will do the job very well and very cheaply and will actually input some great ideas. <br /> <br />As well I want to get an observation car in the correct livery to match my Golden Mountain ( a successor to the Orient Express) train. I know i am hopeless at this so I will seek someone out that will do this very well; better than I could ever hope to do and get it done for a very small amount of money, so maybe you can utilise some specialist skills in a similar direction. <br /> <br />I have already designed and built a 5 m long 17 span concrete viaduct and a very nice bridge and this is my strength, so where i am weak others are strong and if you can sell this strength good luck to you. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
