I have had a couple of unsuccessful layouts. Lots of derailments and things of that nature. I am startng my third layout it fills the garage. I have taken my time and have read only what I need to know. One recent MR had a guy in talking about laying track I followed it and applied the technique to my work. There is also a MR with track tips to keeping your layout runing smooth I have filed it up front also. I am a decent carpenter and I can wire ok if I have a major wiring snafu I just call y elec. engineer bddy to sort it out. Scenery is my weakness I am modeling Green River WY scarec of trees so I think it will be a bit easier. I need to do my back drops but am just a bit nervous but I will jump in there and give it a shot after all if it ugly I can go get more sky blue and paint over it and start all over. There is a guy I work with hwo is very opinionated and likes to give his advice on model railroading yet he himself doe not have a layout just lots of models still in their boxes. I asked him why not and his reply was "I want to see how yours turns out". Get out there and do it quit worrying about what everybody else tinks its a hobby to get your mind off of things like work. As for MR magazine I think I would rather have the streamliner coming to my house it is solely about UP which is what I am really intersted in. so get off your butt and make it hapen if you make a mistake do not worry you can redo it just have fun
