I'd rather take that 4x8 sheet, cut it in half, and build either a 2' deep 16' long shelf switcher, or or an 8x10 l shaped switching layout. Watching a train go around and around doesn't entertain me. I'd be rather dropping off and picking up cars at a bunch of industries. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well check out the layouts I posted..I also prefer the switching type layouts but,these small layouts was built for switching.[:D] <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Saw a link to that site in another thread. Some of those are pretty neat, but a little bit smaller than I like. I'm building a 4 1/2' x 1' switcher. I've already extended a few feet out for staging, though. It's good to have a "rest of the world." :)
