Not all are of the round-about style. There is the "continuous run" school and the "point-to-point" school with many variations of the two. (Watch now as someone posts a completely useless either-or poll about this, completely ignoring the many variations.) My new layout will be a point-to-point with a terminus/ interchange town. Trains would be traveling to mines, furnaces, sawmills and, of course, the Tofu Packing Plant along the way with tracks climbing the mountains and ultimately ending deep in the woods past the Black Fly Logging Camp. In this type of operation, there is usually less track with more scenery and more of the illusion of travelling somewhere. While I have some track that doubles back within the scene, I'm trying to separate it with enough distance & elevation change to make it less noticable. I'm going to forgo continuous running on this layout unless I get creative when I ultimately finish building the route and make a connection with the ends. The emphasis here being on scenery & a linear operation, the function being to go somewhere, turn around & come back. This is my first layout designed for this type of operation after a lifetime of running around in circles. Wayne
