My HO layout was to be around a town, Winter's Glen, set in a mountain valley. I decided to go N scale and most of my ideas are still included. My layout is on a 5' x 6' + 10' x 1.5' (think of it as a T-shirt). The top (sleeves) runs along the back wall and has the "distant" main line loop (with the HO set up I was going to use N-scale track+loco running back and forth to show distance.. not happening now). Off of it is the oval that runs around the town plus a mountain on the 5x6 section (no room for the mountain in the HO layout). Around the town is another oval and where the local locomotive runs rolling stock to industries, which have yet to be decided (nearly certain is a modern grain elevator for one). I want an "old time" steam engine (4-6-0) that is "refurbished" and now runs tourists through the tunnel under the mountain, stops on the bridge to let pictures be taken of a valley, and then it backs up into the mountain spur to an old mine for more pictures (that reminds me, got to find an old mining camp building or some such; not the new "modern" ones). The mine will have a "ghost" story, something about the "lone long-lost miner" and if you listen carefully you can hear him still working after all these years looking for that elusive "mother lode". The mountain has a spire, which is yet to be carved (plastering now) and named. I haven't yet decided what to put in the valley; I thought about wild horses but if I can find some N-scale American bison then that might be a good possibility. The "Dragon Cave" will probably not have a dragon in it (me being a fantasy gamer makes that hard to resist [:)] ). Still a lot of work in progress, and the fiction may change. Glen
