Jetrock: A HUGE thank you for the info about tiny industries I could model, as well as the trolley info. Due to my multiple interests (Huge Southern California 4 6-axle diesel trains as well as tiny east-coast looking city scenes with trolleys running through them), modules seem to be the way to go. Hminky: Yes, that's the article I was referring to in my original post - about the criticism of the Timesaver. Someone mentioned the rubicks cube. I like the rubicks cube! But I do appreciate the warnings about building a timesaver into my layout. I may make it, drive myself crazy, then rip it up - this, I imagine, will be the beauty of such a tiny layout. Also, I'll be handlaying all of my track, so the only expense in track will be time. I'm going to order that MRP 2003 today. And I do have the Iain Rice book - which is awesome! Maybe I'll read through it again, as well as the MRP 2003, and possibly pick a design other than the timesaver. But It sure sounds fun. And for those who say it's not realistic, neither is a 4x8 layout with a loop on it. Let's be honest: None of our layouts are terribly realistic, but they're fun.
