Money seems to be the one item no one wants to talk about in the hobby. We have no problem filling in space large or small but I wonder sometimes if a person who wants a railroad really comprehends the large amounts of time it takes to build one.Sure, i could slap a 4x8 together in one day and have it running the next but it will take 10 years to finish it all.One layout we built at the LHS took about 3 years give or take a few months to reach a state of completion. I think it was a 4x8 and it took 4-10 of us several saturdays every few weeks slowly proceeding on that one road.I have a photograh series of a modular club here over the last few years where each year at the show, I would photo graph a module and it gets a little bit better each year.. little by little.Im fully convinced that one should be careful to plan and build what they can handle.
