<p>[quote user="Lonnie Utah"] I did enough research thst i knew the limitations going in. My decision was made by other factors. Mainly because I did have a kid and the ability to walk around the layout was critical to us.[/quote]</p> <p>There is nothing wrong with that.</p> <p>I wonder though, how many out there do not do the research to see what other options exist. </p> <p>I am not really into the whole running a train in a circle thing. It took me 3 layouts to figure that out (maybe 4). </p> <p>The current layout that I am building in my garage is a hybrid modular/sectional layout. Trains cannot run in a circle on this layout because one end is physically disconnected from the other. It is designed so that I can take out and store sections so that winter vehicle storage can be accomplished along with vehicle maintenance. It uses club standard modular sections and takes up most of the garage. But it is serving a purpose. Learning. </p> <p> </p>
