This thread really got me thinking! 52 years ago, I started my "career" as a model railroader with an HO scale tinplate Marklin starter set, which grew each year into a little empire. At first, I set up my "trains" on the family dining table and later on my bed, which I had covered with a green blanket, and stuffed boxes under the blanket to simulate scenery. Of, course, all of it had to be packed away when bedtime came. Since then, I have built a number of layouts, each one more detailed and sophisticated than the one before. Although I thoroughly enjoyed building and operating them, none of them gave me the fun I had in my early days as "carpet model railroader" playing with his toy trains. I sometimes think I should just chuck what I am doing right now and go back to the roots! Btw, the video can only be viewed to subscribers of MRVP+, so posting the link here is worthless to non-subscribers.
