[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by yardgoat46 I'm a newbie, but I find myself worrying about the details of the structures and the areas around them. I have only a small 2' X 15' switching layout.... all industry and engine service area, and I really enjoy detailing these areas to the point I'm thinking about photography. I made a huge (for me) initial purchase for a DCC system, a few sound equiped quality engines, and quality track equipment. Now, I'm just going to get really cheap rolling stock kits, and bring them up to fine operating standards. Fine detail on them would only get broken, I think. I hope I'm going about this in a good way. Jim And, Chip, if you feel "totally overwhelmed by it all," then it is no longer a hobby for you. It is the opposite of a hobby, seems to me. Are there other issues, or forces, at work? Sit down with a beer, or a root beer if you prefer, and look at it. Maybe it is time for a major change. A long time ago, I started going crazy with an O scale layout. I started pressuring myself to finish certain things, etc. I actually started to lose sleep over it. I then realized that I was doing it for other people, not my own enjoyment and relaxation. That's not a hobby, its a job (however enjoyable it may be). [/quote] i know that crazy fealling i am woorking on my yard trying to space tracks so i can run cars and not hit ones on other tracks .and try not to make my cornners to tight . that i got so upset because i coudent get it right i just walked away and told my self to look at it later with a clear mind. the next time i work on my layout will be this weekend i will have a clear head and hopefully beable to bang out the yard in a few hours . i try to buy middle of the road rolling stock something that looks goog but not super detaled
