[quote user="fwright"] The club layout in Greeley, Colorado has 2 stories and takes 30 minutes just to walk around.  An operating session there is something special. But unless you have a dedicated group to operate, and build/maintain, very large layouts turn into albatrosses. just my thoughts Fred W <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> That plus big layouts take big space and for most people their train room is pulling double duty as a family room or as well...a basement. Not many people have barns or haymows they can devote solely to their model trains. Also rounding up a crew of like 20 people is kinda hard to do and not many people's significant others want to have to entertain and provide refreshments for that many guests all the time. Some of your guests will have significant others of their own or kids who aren't into model trains and who they can't get babysitters for. What do they do? Then there's another matter at hand. Where do all those people park their cars? Unless people are car pooling, riding on each other's laps, hoofin' it, or you're chartering a bus, all those guests' cars gotta go somewhere. And when the whole shootin' match is done you gotta clean up after all those people. I know I sure wouldn't want that kind of a headache even if I did have the money and space to pull it off. Plus that's just way too much peopling for me. I'm kind of an introvert and I like my personal space.
