[quote user="spidge"] [quote user="RR Redneck"]GUYS, IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally have secured a place to build my new N scale Layout. It will be 4x8, plenty room.[/quote]I have buit and dissmantled about six layouts in my time and mostly its because new trackage rights were obtained. I currently finished off two walls in my garage and added partitions to limit the size of the RR. I am committed to this layout and will not expand further into the garage as all it leads to is more plywood layout. Even thogh I don't enjoy some aspects of scenery, once I get past it I love to see the trains run and the visitors see progress.The most successfull and closest to finished layout I had was 3x6 with a fair sized trestle. The size limit actually forced me to move on to the next phase. I had it in the garage and left the door open often causing cureous passers by to investigate. This layout was a big hit and my wife and 14 year old daughter remind me all the time that I should not have tore it down.Be carefull what you think you want. Limit/challenge yourself to get to a certain degree of completteness on a layout. Also, lesson learned, don"t tear the old one down untill you can run trains if possible. [/quote] Spidge,Great information and insite! I am on my first layout and will get some work done on it this weekend!! Mine is a 30"x48" not a lot of room but enough for an intresting layout. I am still in the track planing stages, I have put in two basic track plans and neither really worked for me, so on to layouts 3 and 4. Which I hope to put on a disk tonight and bring them into work tomorrow and up load them for comments.And RR,Good luck on the 4'x8' keep us posted!!Curt
