[quote user="Toucan"]I have just finished reading all the posts in this thread.  I am facinated with your abilities and skill.  I am in the planning stages of a new HO layout to be built in a small spare bedroom.  Hopefully it will turn out 1/10 as good as yours.  This will be my first layout in almost 30 years.  Much has changed.  I just retired and hope to have more time to devote to this endevour.  Thanks for the photo history.  It has shown me a few options to try in my designs. [/quote]Thanks for the compliments.  My abilities and skills are probably just average.  My dedication is high though and I have all of the time that I need/want to work on the layout as I am "retired" from the full time job market.  I do have over 50 years of modeling "experience" and about 20 years of model railroad "experience".  I tore down a large layout about 15 years ago; so I made most of my "mistakes" on that one, not this one.One of the reasons for this post, and the others that I do, is to help people that are struggling with a new layout, or who are updating a layout.  What I do is one more bit of data for them to use.  There are many on this forum who post to help others and many who are better modelers than I am.Plan what you want to do very carefully.  Make sure that it will provide for the type of operation that you want and that everything will really fit (especially structures).  Ask for help (read prior threads on the forums first) when you need it.  Good luck.
