Do you KISS your model railroad?

About 14 years ago when my first son was born, I started a huge O scale layout in a garage, and it never got finished. Needed the garage after a while. <br /> <br />About 5 years ago, I was given a whole bunch of Atlas stuff. I started a complicated layout with mountains and an operating coal industry. We ended up moving to a different place before it was anywhere near done. <br /> <br />I used to wake up in the middle of the night and work on those layouts. And I didn't wake up to go and have fun with it. I woke up because I think I put some sub-conscious pressure on myself to fini***hese large, undone projects. <br /> <br />No more. Now its KISS. My kids and I are going to operate right from the start. We only have a 2' X 15' along one wall in the house. We built the wood benchwork together, it was fun. The kids put together the Atlas track and switches using a diagram from a layout book. That was fun. Now I'm ordering the DCC system and engines, and we'll be switching around cars right from the get-go. The layout has 8 stub sidings where we will spot cars, with alot of space around it, so we will build and install buildings, etc and scenery as we please. <br /> <br />Jim <br />
