It all depends on what you want out of your modeling. The main reason I model trains is for relaxation and releaving stress. I like the detail and the large amount of different aspects involved in the hobby. I'm not a bolt or rivet counter but do care if things at least look like they belong in the right time period. The best thing about model railroading is that you can take it in what ever direction you want and to whatever degree or level you feel like. If you want to be a prottypical realist fanatic it's ok. If you want 6 continuous loops and just like to watch them go round and round then that's fine. There are snobs out there but just ignore them and do what you want. I have 2 loops so that trains may pass each other in opposite directions, 5 spurs and 1 passing track. All that gives me the varity I like. <br /> <br />RMax
