I was recently at one of my favorite hobby shops when I got into a conversation with another customer while looking at engines. Finally the question came up as to why each of us where there that day, and I told him I was looking for people, automobiles, signs and things like that for my town on my layout, while he said he was there to buy engines and rolling stock, and that he had no need for people or any of that because his layout had scenery only. He said that way, he could run any era of train he wanted without having to change anything out. Now why didn't I think of that ?... And I was so proud of myself too for designing my layout so that I could change out the cars, buildings and so forth to go from one era to another. It made me stop and think just how much money I have tied up in that stuff when I could have had a nice pine forest with a lake and underbrush. Oh well. Live and learn. Maybe next time I'll do things the other way. <br /> <br />trainluver1
