Andre, Iain had little, if anything to do with the design of the present layout -- he was busy with other issues at the time I planned the thing -- although he certainly looked the plan over and we went back and forth on some issues it wasn't really as much of a collaboration as the old SNE layout was. The new layout has a lot of elements from various parts of New England, although so far everything is meshing fairly well -- even to my eye. Most all of the equipment will be CV (with some B&M here and there), and I can't resist MEC Harvest Green and Yellow, though that stuff stays on the shelf until no one else is around to see me watching it run around the layout. Seriously, the layout will be something like Paul Dolkos' B&M -- a compilation of scenes and elements from various places arranged in what I hope will be a logical and appealing manner. I haven't been completely immune from narrow gauge, and have done some narrow gauge modeling (Sn3) since I moved out here -- another reason for the apparent slow rise of the New England layout. I decided that an Sn3 module was fine, and I didn't need to fill the basement with an Sn3 layout when there were boxes of my pet HO New England models (and lots of detailed and finished freight cars) in the store room. I think Andy S was a little disppointed though -- he kept offering to give my resin freight cars a good home . . . .
