[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by selector Trainluver1, when you say that the last one was really hard on you, would you care to elaborate? Was it physically too demanding, or just stressful? I have built only one, just since early January, an 8 X 11 in one corner of an unfinished basement. I was very green in skill development, but I had taken the time to do some research and figured out early that this would probably be my only layout while in this house (expected occupancy is 5-15 years). Also, my personality is such that I go crazy on a piece of work until it is done. So the layout is now essentially complete minus some weathering and a couple more residential buildings. I have learned that I need to take more time to do things. My layout turned out very well, but it could have been better. Also, I learned to trust myself when i conclude that I should go on with a plan. I knew that a 4X8 layout would not satisfy me for long, either in the building or in the running. I needed 'mass' and variation in order not to get bored. Probably the best thing I've learned is that I am not unique, stupid, fearful, incapable, or alone is this fantastic hobby. Many others are just as concerned about a next step, reading and pondering every bit as much, shopping wisely, and whistling to themselves while they do their favourite thing!! It is very good to have you all with me. Cheers, everbody. [/quote] I think it was just too stressful. But like they say, never say never...
