<p>I like the sound of this Joe.</p><p>[quote user="jfugate"]</p><p><strong><em>Dream:</em></strong> Prototype info, layout tours, philosophy pieces (the ideal throttle)</p><p><strong><em>Plan:</em></strong> Track plan ideas, layout design guidelines, examples of design problem solutions.</p><p><strong><em>Build:</em></strong> Room prep, benchwork, trackwork, scenery, bridges, structures.</p><p>To this I would add a new one: Operate it.</p><p><strong><em>Operate:</em></strong> Everything that takes a layout from still life to something that moves: wiring, DCC, locos, rolling stock, car and train movement (car cards, switchlists, just running trains, Timetable and Train Order), signals, layout maintenance</p><p><font color="#ff0000">What do you think of just having four other areas besides general discussion? If you splinter things up too much, then you make it hard for people to know where to look.</font> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Agreed. I think headlined like that it should work very well. So all together you'd have 6 areas including the <strong><em>70<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Boxcar</em></strong> section, which is kind of a force unto itself. Which I don't think is too much, Garden has 5 sections and MRR has over 10x as many posts!</p><p>Set up like this, I'll bet <strong><em>Operate</em></strong> would be the one that goes over 3 pages/day! Unless you were to add one more: <strong><em>Control</em></strong> and put all electronics, DCC, signaling, etc. in there... I dunno</p><p> </p>
