On my 5th layout now in 40 years, (have I learned anything?) [;)] <br />Yes, <br />#1 Nothing is ever permanent, except stains in the carpet. <br />#2 There is always someone whe can do it better, or at least thinks he can. <br />#3 It's MY layout ! If I wanna doublehead Thomas the tank engine with a B&O Pacific , I will!! (I've done it too!![:p]) <br />#4 There are more ways to do scenery than you can remember. Seek out new techniques, don't let yourself go stagnant. <br />#5 If your better half tells you " You spend too much time in the basement" you probably are. Consider spending time with her or the kids as a way of "buying" modeling time. Better yet, get her (kids) involved with the hobby. My biggest helper and most trusted critic wears a skirt! <br />#6 There is never enough time to do it right, but always time to do it over! <br />#7 Never be afraid to ask a question. Doors fly open when a question is a key. <br />#8 Don't forget your mantra,,,Model railroading is fun!!! (repeat this 10 times next time you misplace a critical part) <br /> <br />I'm sure there's more!!![:D] <br />I'm sure there's more, if I think harder. <br />
