Out with the old............
...............and in with the new. I have fast grown tired of my 8x12 narrow guage railroad. I am rippin it out completely and starting over. I FINALLY got my mother to give up a larger area of the yard to accomidate my new narrow guage "empire". I will be increasing it to 11'x16'. The current theme of the land scape was reminicent to the Rio Grande Western in the rockies. But I am goin to re do the landscaping as well to look more like west Texas. I will call my new empire the Sagebrush & Rattler Railroad. I am also repainting all my RGW Bachmanns. This should be fun.

Eric, obviously your not married, or if you are you are pretty foolish. You never say you have got sick of anything or it will be taken down and used in evidence against you, if your wife finds out. Rgds ian

Ian: Put your bifocals back on, or get a new prescription. He said "mother". Eric: Ian is right, Mothers pass this kind of stuff on to their daughters-in-law. We want tons of photos, both DEstruction and CONstruction. I know you will have lots of fun because your going to be outside playing in the dirt!

Re: Out with the old............
I would be more than happy to post photos, but I usually blow all of my money on my trains and guns, being so, I dont have a digital camera. And I dont have a scanner.

Re: Out with the old............
I got a Kodak CX 7430 with docking station and printer for under $200. It's a great camera, easy to use and takes excellent photos! Surely you have a birthday or something during the year? In any case, starting over is a good thing. It allows us to build better and avoid old mistakes. In my case it allows me to make completely new mistakes, one's I would never have thought of before. Do keep us posted, photos or not!

Eric mate; From an old man to a young man; in model garden railways we never get sick of anything, "Modifying the layout so that it will operate more efficiently and be a better spectical" would be better put. Regards Ian
