[quote user="yougottawanta"]Ulrich - I would think that there would be a market for comprehensive design which could include, the intial track plan, wiring diagram, power needs, sound systems, signaling systems and could even include recommendations on engine types and rolling stock recommendations for the period ?[/quote] YGW - if I were to make an offer for planning the little layout, it would look like this Developing layout specifications w/cusomer - 10 hrs. 1st idea and reconciliation - 15 hrs. 2nd idea and reconciliation - 10 hrs. Final design - 10 hrs. Wiring diagram, power etc. - 10 hrs. In total 55 hrs. (if the customer cooperates and communicates well). At $ 10/hr. , that´s $ 550 for this job. I doubt that anybody is prepared to pay that kind of money. I remember working daily on a layout design for my Swiss friend - over a three week period. It would have cost him a couple of thousand $ - better to keep a good friend! [quote user="yougottawanta"]I know that many cultures such as Asians ( my son married a South Korean ) it is acceptable to eat dogs and I think cats. Here it is almost akin to being a cannible to consider eating fluffy the poodle the baby of the family ?[/quote] Well, IIRC, the native Americans or 1st Nation People (if you are Canadian) didn´t mind feasting on a dog, but only on special occasions. There are many cultures beyond out steak & fries, hamburgers, schnitzel and sauerkraut culture eating things you would not dare to even look at. I better stop here - any mentioning of what they eat may be found obtrusive [+o(]
