<p>[quote user="blownout cylinder"]</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Ulrich:</b> I can see a combination of Marklin's plan with WS scenery...oh my....<img src="http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_love.gif" alt="http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_love.gif" onload="resizeImage(this);" /></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>You know, Barry - I can see that too. I don´t know what it is, but there is something to the way layouts were built in those days. A very simplistic approach to scenery, but it made young and old boys´ hearts go "boom, boom, boom" , when they saw a layout like this. And to be honest, I think they were just great - in a different, but nonetheless appealing way.</p> <p>I could actually see myself building one like that. But again, hold the colored sawdust and those awful plastic trees [swg]</p> <p>Just a quick poll among friends:</p> <p>When it comes to operating your layout, what do you prefer (or do most of the time)?</p> <ul> <li>"Real" operation, with way bills etc.?</li> <li>Just letting a train run?</li> </ul> <p>I am right now that my way of operating a layout is changing. It used to be trying to attempt to re-enact prototype operation as close as possible, but now I find letting trains run more appealing. Makes my mind wander back to my youth days... </p> <p>Is this just age?</p>
