starting today

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,
Just sitting here eating a sandwich, and taking a break from building a new workbench in the garage. It seems i put the old one right where the new layout is planned. Just wanted to let everyone know that today is THE day. It feels great to get started after months of planning. Now if only i could settle on a track plan,era,etc,etc,etc,etc, ............

A good track plan is; Just start somewhere & plan as you go. I have done that w/all my layouts for the past 44 years. Never made a plan except in the old brain. Just don't glue the track down. Use nails that are easy to take out & always change the mistakes further down the line if needed. I made a giant change on my layout about a month ago
just because it needed it. Always have a dream plan & "Just build it". Start Today. Don't wait for that perfect plan. Just change it later if it don't look right.

Actually, if you've got enough space to have a real workbench in the vicinty of your layout you're a lucky toolbox-guy.

Congrats on getting started. Overcoming the inertia is often the hardest part.

Keep us posted on your progress, and feel free to ask for ideas on layout planning.
