I found reading the saga of your railroad fascinating vsmith. I'm having to face the fact that my first 'G' layout is going to be in my bedroom which is 9ft x 11ft last time I checked. The garden is my Mum's domain and she is very protective of her garden, - so I figure having a bit of a practice for a start in my room so I can show her what I'm about would be a very good idea. Studying your plans as they have evolved has been useful for me too as trying to fit 'G' scale into a space I was using for '0' gauge previously requires some mental gear shifting along the way. I'm hoping to use multilevel techniques as I do want some grades for my logging locos to climb, but the biggest problem is whether or not I can get away with running a tunnel through my wardrobe. If not I'm going to have to run a removeable section across the front of the wardrobe door (sigh). I'm going to use Bachman indoor track and switches/points at least for a start because I've got them already and once the trackplan is properly firmed up I can make a change to something better if I want to. My Mum builds dollshouses to 1" to the foot scale and I'm sure she's going to love it once I get to building structures. Again your building are wonderfully inspiring and give me a good guide as to what is possible. Most structures I'll be building will be based on the simple timber and corragated iron buildings common in New Zealand tramway practice. Unfortunately any representation of the mill buildings is going to have to be in the backscene fronted by a little low relief modelling (sigh), but I can live with that. Thanks again for your inspiring saga. Annie
