CNJ831: <br /> <br />I was primarily referring to 4x8's, which don't provide very intersting 'laps', I can well imagine that just running trains on a larger layout could be quite fun (And in fact have enjoyed doing such), but with the small size and simple track plans of your average 4x8, 'just running laps' is going to pale faily quickly unless you have something else to interest you (not that you're going to stop running the occasional set of laps). Be it operations, model-building, detailing scenes, whatever, you need something to keep up your interest, and operation is probably the most viable long-term interest-keeper for a 4x8 (Eventually you're going to run out of scenes to detail). And even simple operations can be a lot of fun (I don't mean even waybills, but just 'even's east' car number based operations).
