Mike, Interesting aspects! I have discussed the issue of model railroading being an art with my wife (after nearly 30 years of marriage we still talk to each other [swg]), who comes from an artist family of painters, sculptors and singers and who is a gifted painter herself. Her opinion is somewhat diplomatic - while model railroading may not be an art in itself, it does take a lot what makes up an artist - dedication, skill and a good feeling for scenes, colors etc. Following her view, any well-done layout comes very close to being a work of art. There are a number of layouts presented her, that qualify for that. Being just a model railroader is certainly not enough.
