[quote user="Dave Vollmer"][quote user="ngn47"] This is a great idea and a noble effort.I was wondering if we could get a push from all N-Scale(rs) for more layouts in Kalmbach's"Great Model Railroads" annual publication? I am disappointed that they only have one N-Scale layout and eight HO layouts. I believe that there are a lot of great (if not fantastic) layouts worthyincluded in that issue. [/quote]Yep, this year I, for the first time, did NOT buy GMR...  It just wasn't aimed at me in any way.  Mostly huge HO layouts.  The one N scale layout was also enormous.Clearly I wasn't their intended audience, so I saved my cash.  I'd like to see some smaller layouts, too.  Even a medium-sized HO layout would be of some interest to me (I could always modify the trackplan for N).  Wonder if Kalmbach is listening...?[:-^]I'm sure it's neat to have the kind of layout where you need 25 people over just to run a train.  That's just not for me.  If it keeps me and my two boys (or a friend or two) busy, that's perfect!  In fact, if I had a 20'x40' finished space, I wouldn't fill it with layout.  I'm thinking 12'x12' is roughly my ideal size in N.  Can be built and scenicked in a reasonable time, not cost-prohibitive, maintainbable, and operable by 1-4 people.That's just me, though![swg][/quote]I'm with you on this one on all counts.  No GMR for me and 12'x12' is great for N scale.  Although If I had more room and finished a 12'x12' I guess I would consider expanding.Rob
