Toy train operating and collecting

This is the final installment featured in the March issue of CTT.

Very nicely done layout.

And, a great "how to" article.

Palallin,

Obviously, in a 4-part magazine series it would be difficult to include an in depth look at all the techniques involved in creating a layout of that scope. However, I was disappointed with what was omitted in the January issue. There was a lot of pertinent information that never made it to print. I do think February and March had a nice balance. 

The direct answer to your question is no--not as far as I was concerned.

Thanks Dennis, and CTT for putting this together!  I learned a great deal from the articles!

I would have liked additional details, but I think I can figure out, with a little trial and error, how to accomplish what you did.

Dennis,

Really enjoyed your article and especially the "look' you achieved with your design concepts. I have filed these away as I consider a rebuild of my present layout. I have obtained a bascule bridge and a 213 lift bridge as I wish to achieve s nice waterfront effect as you have done.

I enjoyed the entire series and really learned from it. You did a great job on that layout, Dennis. Very realistic, and highly detailed.
