<p> Darrel,</p><p> I have been following up on this thread for quite some time now, observing how your layout ideas develop with the input through this forum. Although I am not in a position to comment on your recent ideas, allow me to make some remarks.</p><p>Designing a layout requires multi-level thinking, i.e. track <b>and</b> scenery or LDE´s. I find it difficult to picture your layout ideas in terms of scenery, which IMHO, is the spice to each layout.</p><p>Your layouts have a lot of track and a lot of turnouts, but the focus is on letting 1 or more trains run. I assume that this is one of your druthers. If you like to watch your trains run through some nice scenery, may I suggest that you kind of concentrate the passenger station, yard and loco facilities in one area - your "city, maybe? - and thus open up space for scenery? If you then lead your trackage into a (hidden) staging yard and add some lineside industries along the way, you can come really close to what you expect to get, I assume.</p><p> </p><p>Darrel, I have never designed a "big" layout like you do, so these are just my thoughts. <br></p>
