[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CNJ831 An interersting set of statistics, especially when one considers that only 2-3% of all layouts are more than roughly ten feet square (less than the size of a small spare bedroom). It makes one wonder why, month after month, the magazines offer us basement filling empires that have no relation whatever to what the typical modeler is attempting to accomplish.

OTOH, the people who have the nice layouts are the ones who actually WRITE about them. The staff at MR doesn't go door to door looking for them. Build a small layout and write about it. Who knows? It might actually appear in MR. Andre [/quote] While most of the layouts that they show are basement basement empires. But look at the track plans they publish. Most are generally 4X8 or 10X10 spare bedroom types. Makes you wonder what a "typical" layout looks like. James
