I was talking about ME not having a layout. There are more of us in the world besides you.

Before I can have an open house, I have to finish my layout, but there's so many Tim Taylor project monkey's on my back right now, I just hope to finish something on it soon. It would also be nice if I could clear all the junk out of the garage, err, layout roomSmile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

   Have fun with your trains

Very Very soon I plan on having a raised switching layout (outdoor). Well starting one anyway we had Littel one's at the Oakley house about four times this summer and all said WHERES THE TRAINS.

Dave without a railroad for eight mounths.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

Sorry to dismay you GDS but if you had the facts behind why I have no tracks down now and I pulled up the old ones is because my dad and mom was talking about building a train room/shop but my dad passed on before anything was done and now we have the honor of picking up the company he left behind all 48yrs worth.

If I was to lay track it would be infront of the building which is closed in on all three sides with trees and such and that would mean I would roll every thing over the track which in this day and time is not cheap, maybe for indoor people but not for outdoor people.

Thanks for the input,

Toad

Two years ago I purchased the LGB Snoopy Flyer when it went on sale. I have a separate track for the kids (big and small) so they can have fun. Really adds a light hearted air to an open house. Definitely a must have. Regards, Dennis.
