<p> Darrell,</p><p>criticism is always a difficult issue, for both involved parties. As a friend of the "less-is- more" - attitude, I have to partially agree to Mark, although most of the layouts build in the world follow the principle he humorously calls a glorified toy-train set. </p><p>A lot of track does not necessarily mean a lot of operation or should I better say action? Just watch a train or more than just one train circling along the track gets boring after a little while. A lot of people then start to add other "attractions" or action gimmicks to their layouts, wondering that boredom starts only a minute later than before... [:(]</p><p>Prototypical operation is really rewarding and a lot of fun. In my younger days, all the boys wanted to be a train driver - on my own layout, this is what I am!</p><p> </p><p>Look at the <img src="file:///D:/TMP/moz-screenshot-2.jpg" alt="">graph below:</p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Graph1.jpg?t=1246468301" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Graph1.jpg?t=1246468301" width="533" height="402"></p><p>(Source: Lance Mindheim at www.lancemindheim.com)</p><p>I know it is a little provocative, but I just ask you to think a little about that, before you start to invest $$$ into something you may want to cahnge later on.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="file:///D:/TMP/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt=""><img src="file:///D:/TMP/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt=""> </p>
