[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jrbernier</i> <br />... Try to settle on a good basic plan, and build it. Too many layouts 'change' as the owner discovers something new. There is nothing wrong with change, but one needs to complete that first layout. Too many times the first layout is junked as too many 'changes' have left their toll, and the builder wants to just start over. Many times they never get to the scenery stage, and even the follow-on layouts will suffer from this as the builder has not developed 'skills' in that area(or electrical, etc...).[/quote] <br />yes...<i>yes</i>...<i>YES</i>!!! <br /> <br />I'm battling the demon of indecision as I try to build Layout #3. I used Abracadata software to generate a workable track plan, printed it out, planned the wiring etc. --- <br />and now I keep thinking "Hey wouldn't it be even better if...[whatever]". That's when I need to remind myself of a closing line in a popular Kenny Rogers song ("The Gambler"): <br /> <br /><i>"There'll be time enough for </i>[changin']<i> once the </i>[construction]<i> is done[:-^]"</i> <br /> <br />
