Oops, I forgot to put my little disclaimer in there that I thought I had made mandatory for all my expressed ideas. Well, here it is, hopefully not too late: "This is my take on things. Probably everyone else feels differently, and for that I am glad, because it shows that others are capable of thinking for themselves. And to everyone his own." Just an extension to my philosophy (read disclaimer above again if necessary) about space available. My own layout only fills about 2/3 of an 11'x11' room around the walls, and is point-to-point in HO. It is not a switching layout, but more or less centers on what boils down to yard transfer with minor switching. Operations consist of hooking a locomotive to a string of cars at one end, running it to the other, disconnecting, switching a little, and repeating. It is plenty enough to occupy one or two operators for some time due to certain characteristics I have built in. Small switching layouts without continuous run also occupy happy operators for whatever duration the operator wants to be occupied. And it goes without saying that large point-to-point layouts with *cough* 600' of mainline *cough* work just fine without it. Again, please read the disclaimer above ;]
