Absolutely. That's a great idea. Decide what kind of yard you want on your large layout, and build that first. Then not only will your parents see that you are dedicated, but they will likely become interested themselves. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly There is one thing that I think parents worry about on any new venture. What is your dedication level or sticktoitness? Do they fear they will shell out a bunch of bucks just to have you lose interest in a few months? How about start with a small diorama or small switching layout? You can then slowly add to it bit by bit. I think, in addition to many of the posts above that tell of the benefiets, you also must show them that this is not a fly by night fad, but the start of a lifelong hobby. [/quote]
