[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by iandor It is easy to get bored watching the same trains going around the same track ad nauseum. However i do love building new track, creating new arrangements and overcoming one small problem after another, during construction. I have even now gone to an extended configuration, so that my trains run in all directions over all of the track in order. and both day and night If you can imagine my main track around the pool in area 2 about 40 m long,. with a clockwise reversing loop at one end and an anticlockwise reversing loop at the other end. So that i go right around the main track in area 2 clockwise once and then into the clockwise reversing loop in area 1. Around the main loop anti clockwise 1 1/2 times then around the anticlockwise reversing loop whichis in area 3 and back onto the main loop in a clockwise direction for 11/2 laps etc. this way you don't get so tired of watcjhing the same bloody train doing the same bloody thing all the time. Also I have much else in my life, even though I am retired. A younger wife, 11 grandkids, a three month trip to europe, several clubs to do with oldies, lunches and outings etc. Rgds ian [/quote] Ian J Brown. why did u get into lgb if its so boring and nauseum for you? I just enjoy running my trains i can change my direction and my engines 2 different directions different freight's and sound is added excitement for me. I guess my love for trains is diffrent then yours i have them in my living room in a show case. I have a rea orig. caboose that before i had the show case it set on a shelf as a static unit lighted during night or gloomy days. train's in general just are dear to me i have a exhaustive resource too them vhs's dvd's. As a child i lived near a switching yard went to bed listening to trains switching till i fell asleep maybe that's why my love for trains. "When i was able to get out and about i didn't spend as much time running my RR"
