My dream layout doesn't have to be the biggest--I just want it to captivate me each time I'm ready to turn on the power and watch the trains roll. Ideally, I look forward to the day when I can construct, in the basement, a layout with at least one section of it with minimum straightaway of at least 40 feet. This would be a blast, to watch at least four long passenger trains race over the 'countryside', before disappearing into tunnels or behind rolling hills or buildings. I'd also like an 'E' shaped track plan, with the middle section of the 'E' devoted exclusively to a major train station with stub-end tracks and intricate throat trackage. And long coach yards! I'll have the house with the desired basement soon enough, so maybe this won't be a dream for much longer after all. Oh: one other modeler said that he would want to be able to operate his layout exclusively if he wanted, and I have to agree that would be very, very important to me as well. It shouldn't be so complex that I have to seek out five other modelers to help run things. Continuous running and me staring in awe--now that's a dream layout.
