"(the Southern Railway layout in the current issue, which I browsed but didn't buy, is a good example -- not only do we get a photo of the owner, but now we see a photo of his HOUSE, apparently in a "good" neighborhood)." <br /> <br />Worse than that--I think it was his GARAGE, which holds the layout. <br /> <br /> <br />While I was a little taken aback by how much Brakie disliked the Turtle Creek layout, I've read him on this and other forums and ALWAYS found him helpful and knowledgeable. He will bend over backwards to help beginners out (me included). Maybe you don't agree with him, but if he says something I pay attention. <br /> <br />That said, I thought the mountain was awful, but my wife likes mountains and tunnels and keeps pestering me for one on my layout (set in Kansas, no less!) I think the 4x8 layouts are useful for beginners, but the project layout I really liked was the Wildcat Central--an around the walls shelf layout. That was a good railfan layout, too, but easy to modify if one wished. I've liked some of the recent N layouts, too, like the Arkansas and Missouri a few years back. <br /> <br />The recent small layout designs have been good, too, and I think it shows an effort to be more realistic for average readers. <br /> <br />Gary
