I have often wondered about the similarities between real and model railroads. First when the railroads began stretching across our great country they had to barter for land and rightaways.They were often forced to give consesions to the local politicans In some ways my own railroad has had to face some of the same situations.My empire started out as a 4x8 but soon needed to grow. I was forced back up the stairs to barter with the local land baron{WIFE} for more space after several conversations it was agreed and the space needed was secure,but i tell you this it was not without a cost{new steps on back porch}Soon with the expansion completed and the track work done it was clear that I didn't have enough motive power to service all the potential new customers.AH back up the stairs this time for capital.Why do you need more trains she asked; Well because I do <br />Anyone out there know anything about landscaping.
