QUOTE: Originally posted by MisterBeasley If it were up to me, I'd do an around-the-wall layout with a lift-out bridge at the doorway. I like continuous running as a "background" for switching operations. That way, I can have a slow freight chugging around that I have to watch out for when switching locals, or I can run a fast passenger train the other way and arrange meets when necessary.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
