The 10-foot rule

Right on Tom, if a car or loco is two or three times the price of brand B then it should be two or three times the quality---sorry but A,U,L are not that good so I also believe in the $50 rule. <br /> <br />As far as the 10-foot rule goes I don't use it for two reasons. #1 I am building a model railroad that happens to have living plants within its boundaries. My track plan is more like an indoor small scale layout and my scenery is built with wire screen covered with morter cement and rock castings. My track is all hand spiked code 197 rail on redwood ties. I am not a rivet counter and I don't want to imply that my way is better than any other way. The way I am constructing my layout is for my enjoyment and I like to view things close up so I include as much detail as is practical outside. #2 My yard is very small and if I used the 10-foot rule I would end up inside my garage or in the neighbors yard behind a 6' fence. <br /> <br />May all your weeds be wild flowers, OLD DAD
