[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by DPD1</i> <br /><br />I tend to agree... less is definitely better. That said, there are certain spots where real life imitates models. Especially in Pennsylvania. Check out this shot taken by Dave Kerr. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=60945 <br />And there is an area in Duquesne that is even more jam-packed.[/quote] <br />That area is leading into a <b>steel mill</b> (U.S. Steel Corp. - Edgar Thompson Works near Pittsburgh, to be exact) - and places like that are <i>forced</i> to be spaghetti bowls by their very nature because of limited real estate [sound familiar?]. That is one of the reasons I love steel mill railroad modeling.[:p] <br /> <br />However, there <i>is</i> one 12ft stretch of my layout where only a single-track main line will be visible - once I get the view block in place.
