I thought Malcolm's "whimsical" layout looked very nice. Not my style, but still looked very nice. That being said - I perfer stuff more grounded in reality. When I start building again (hopefully in the next year or so) I'd like mine to be a little bit caricature, and alot of fun. Malcom's layout was - to me - a LOT of caricature and eye-candy, but not as much "substance" as I would like to see. I was hoping for something a little more on the lines of a San Juan Central.... sigh. IMHO, John Allen's Gorre and Daphetid was a good mix of whimsy and real. It looked great, it could be operated well, and it had great visual interest - ridiculously long and/or tall bridges, "in-jokes" etc. Malcolm's layout looked more like a work of art - a few loops of track - little operational possibilities, and very, very pretty. Just some opinions... Rob
