[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith age 10: 4x8 HO double oval just tracks on wood to run trains. age 15: 2x4 N layout double tracked over n under, got done in by the scenery. 75% age 30: 18"x24" HOn30 layout, done in by extreme lack of room and angry wife. 75% . ( we were in a VERY small apartment, I had to go outside to change my mind. ) age 33: 2x4 HOn30, done in by frustration at time by lack of space and lack of items at that scale. 60% age 38: 20'x30' G garden RR, done in by wife who wouldnt let me dig up yard. 20% age 39: 8 1/2' x 20' G indoor finescale masterpiece that will be the envy of all... ...all I have to do its FINI***his one, in my lifetime!!! As of today at age 40, G guage is 40% complete, all benchwork finished all track is down, wiring 90% complete. I have 5 of 25 structures. and more cars and locos than I can find room for... Scenery (which I dislike) and structures next. also have a 9"x12" 'pizza' micro-layout in HOn30 about 60% done. track, wiring, hill and buildings done, scenery (my achilles heal) still to tackle. I recently aquired some more track and am planning a larger layout. Hey i gotta do something with all that old stuff ! and a G gauge micro layout (yes, its under 4 square feet all you microheads out there, even Carl was impressed) thats about 40% done. I have to find a powerpack and begin the structures for it. This time I am Mule-Headed determined to fini***hese, 30 years of this and I'm getting sick of being derailed by something each time.! Updated 9/25/04 Need to revise this yet again.... 8 x 20 indoor garage layout is now been Sliced-n-diced into 8 x 10, apparenty the wife expected to be able to park her car INSIDE the garage. Oh Well, all track completed, all structures at hand, just keep plugging away with what I have left...[B)] [/quote] Vic, see a little trend going on with this post... Wife maybe? Does she have something against trains or the hobby?
