"How many layouts have you built and what did you learn from them?"

Post Body
Enter your post below.
I am working on my sixth layout. My layouts have taught me to be precise, especially with trackwork and electrical things. It has allowed me to exercise my first love of the hobby, scratchbuilding. I have learned patience with myself, I have learned to use the best materials I can afford. Perhaps the greatest lesson I have learned is to not ru***o get a project finished, but to take the time necessary to do it right. I have also learned modelling skills such as scenery building (God bless you, Dave Frary!). I have learned what makes a good layout for operation, and have developed a tremendous desire to have as much staging as I can logically include in my layout. <br /> <br />Keep steam on the mainline. <br /> <br />Tom
