Indoor is great when I get tired of seeing the snow. Pics??? Time for a digital camera! Later eh...Brian. Brian, just dont forget to pack the track when the time comes, you'll need it at the next place, right?

Brian unless your lucky I'd plan on packing it. We are a small segment of a small hobby. Most realitors here sya its better to show buyers a generic garden, the GR sometimes is a detriment. Besides if you take it with you its less track you have to pay for to build the next layout, indoors or out.
I like the ala Marty way your already thinking about the next one, alas for me my layout will be the anti-Marty of layouts, sort of a sick shrunken head version of his big plains layout. Small sick and twisted.
Have fun with your trains
Just a thougth, when my indoor LS RR in complete (track laying ) , I will have some extra track and only live in our Reno part time for now. I am planning (as of today) on a small outdoor out and back with Y at one end. I think I would be able to run two trains a once. We are currently redoing our Cal home backyard, so now would be a very good time to add test track that will be removed when we get ready to sell that home. Having GRR and an indoor LS RR is the only way to go. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLD'S Being SIMI-RETIRED has it's rewards.
The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Yes indoor G-scale is big. WE have a large 5000 sq ft Room we rent.WE do multi-scale .But we have at least 1500' of G track layed. 400' dog bone-shaped layout with LGB block system setting with 7 --8 to 10 car trains runing at one time. Better track layer then typest.
