[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Kay Hoefs I have an 11 year old grandson who is learning lots,and having fun. I'm teaching him wiring...and he's teaching me SPELLING! I have been up in the hills and paced out a station on the prototype called "Menzies Creek". Made sketches of everything and was so disapointed it wouldent fit my space.Never mind it was fun going up there. Not a sound ....only the birds.[/quote] It probably won't be long before he's installing decoders in all your locos and for other folk too. Could be a better job than a paper route! No early hours and if dead beat don't pay up, he can keep their loco. Maybe you could "compress" the size of the Menzies Creek station by making it a little narrower and shallower to fit your space. As long as it has the main design elements, such as gables, roof windows, doors and siding, most folks that been there will recognize the character of the station and not notice it's a little out of scale. We won't tell if you don't. Think about recording the bird sounds to play softy in the background of the scene.
