[quote user="Midnight Railroader"][quote user="pastorbob"]Don't get me wrong, I think he is a talented modeler, but I can't buy the bare table, no ballast approach.  I am still operating the layout I started in 1983 or 1984, I forget, and I am still happy with it and have no interest or intent to replace it.  What do you guys think about the replace every X number of years?[/quote] While I enjoyed the "original" CM&SF layouts much more, it's up to Barrow as to what he wants for his own layout. (Remember, the philosophy we're supposed to promote is, "It's his layout, he can do what he wants.") If he wishes to tear it up over and over, more power to him. [/quote] I don't think pastorbob was attempting to imply that at all. The way I read it, it was more "to each his own, and that's not my style."I too, really liked the original CM&SF, with the open staging yard and finished scenery. But since then...well... Don't get me wrong, I love operations, and so far I've spent several hundred dollars and invested many hours planning and building a staging yard addition to my layout. But the total minimalist style, up to the wire nuts as signals - just doesn't do it for me. I like operations that look nice as well!Again, to each his own...
