Just wanted to add my two cents. Buckminster Fuller, I believe it was, said that an advantage to getting into his 70's was that he could finally just say "I don't know." This applies here in that the enjoyment of anything is the unfettered spontaneous enjoyment itself. In less confusing terms, another quote fits; Adida's "Just do it" I spent a ton of wasted time trying to analyze and rationalize all my industrial sidings and the cars necessary to supply and pick up. Then I decided "screw it, these cars are carrying nothing to nowhere, what am I worrying about? Its basically a TOY, for God's sake!!" Relax, enjoy, don't sweat the little, or even the big stuff. And remember this: most modelers have a specific enjoyment. I love building structures and frieght cars. If you try to perfect everything, you do so at the expense of dedicating more time to what you really enjoy. For me scenery is marginally enjoyable, so I am now building a featurless pike where I will get them up and running and focus on doing what I like. So many things to do, so little time. Remove yourself from time costly aspects and ENJOY what you like about railroading. Happy holidays to all.
