[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by untabubba Does anybody out there "just run trains"? I mean, like on a flat piece of plywood or homasote (painted of course) JUST for the joy of "running trains", or am I "alone"? [/quote] You're definitely not alone. Before taking a stab at my first layout, I was content just to have tracks in place on plywood sheets and watching the trains whiz by. I mean, I could sit for what seemed like an eternity and just watch two trains travel in opposite directions, pass one another, and repeat the circuit--without a trace of scenery, structures, nada. In time though that may begin to lose it's appeal to you and you'll want to try something different. It could be something as simple as modeling a small hillside with a tunnel for the trains to pass under, without a lot of 'down time' to disrupt your enjoyment of watching the trains roll. Move at your own pace; you'll know when you're ready to take the next step of adding structures, etc.[:)]
