The title of the publication is "Model Railroad PLANNING"... not "Model Railroads Completely Built with Scenery". There many articles in MRP that are just plans of layouts... layouts that exist only on paper. No benchwork, NO track, NO scenery; and NO ONE complians about THOSE articles. Would this layout appear in "Great Model Railroads? Probably not. But for the purpose of the pulication, it is an excellent article on design. <br /> <br />Frankly, I think its a fantastic trackplan for its intended purpose; switching operations. What many of the detractors have failed to see is how one could build the exact same layout WITH backsdops and scenery.. and what a great layout it would be. There are a lot of lessons to learn from David's methods and this article describes a great way to get a large layout OPERATIONAL very quickly. I wonder what the detractors would have said about the article if David had written that he wanted to get the layout running quickly and that he would start on the secenery soon; rather than being honest that he wanted to try the minimalist ideal.
