[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by GerFust SuperChiefFan: Nope, I wouldn't use them. If I had a large enough layout, I might use a design consultant, if there is such a thing, to review my design and tell me what I might have missed. But then again, isn't that what you all are for? -Jer [/quote] I am a design consultant, so we do exist, only I'm an architect professionally so I don't usually evaluate layout design (for pay). Still, there are plenty of us whose professional lives are design-oriented, and certainly many model railroaders who like layout design most of all, so be sure that there are those whose services might be available. I doubt, though, that there is anyone who performs exclusively this service for profit, and I bet the custom builders would charge too much to just look at a design. So, as you say, that's what we hobbyists are for. Personally, I always evaluate track plans (my favorite aspect of layout articles in MR) when I look at them, questioning why a crossover is missing here or there, or why the aisles are so narrow, or spotting what seems like missed opportunities. This forum doesn't allow posting of images, but if you could find a way to upload your track plan onto your own web server (check with your ISP), you could share a link here and get lots of feedback.
