I definately see the advantages of "V scale". The best way I could approximate railroading in a very small space is with a "single location" or "railfan" style layout, where you're basically just watching trains run by on a module. Like you, for me, a huge model railroad is just too time/cost/space/sanity prohibitive. I am *almost* tempted to check out V-modeling. However, ever since burning up way too many hours on "jezzball" (a simple yet highly addictive windows video game) years ago in college, I've written off video games forever, and find it difficult to not think of V-scale as a video game. The more "reality" and less "virtual" my life is, the better. Besides, there's nothing like getting your hands on a model train. It's just so dang cool. I think to satisfy the "largeness" problem lately, I've been researching real life railroading in my area. That is pretty interesting stuff. Good post though, and it will be neat to see how this type of "modeling" plays out in the future.
