It all boils down to what you want from your layout. Some like to have lots of track to switch forever and ever. Some guys love to do scenery and have some track but work the hardest doing scenery. See me I do not really care of the switching too much, but I love to se a train travel at scale speeds of 70+ Mph as in real life. I love to work hard on scenery to achive realism so I wanted to focus my work on that not constantly adding track, cleaning track, and switching trains. <br /> <br />If I built a smaller layout I would have chosen switching so i could cram all I want inot a 4x8 layout but since my layout is fairly big I can make it more scale like for buildings, parking lots, and etc, etc. I would have had four or five sidings in that area rather than four or five on a 16x13. It all depends on personal preference in this case Scenery for some and track for others.
