Does anybody else miss the old "round and round" layout?

My new "dream" layout is a modest 14x9 "J" shaped dog-bone. It has only three true spurs on the short leg of the "J" and a busy yard on the long leg complete with roundhouse, a timesaver track, a three track ladder, and a few passing sidings. It has all the neat stuff I've always wanted in my layout. But at the end of the day, a dog-bone is just a loop with the middle section pinched together. Because of my plan I can do some operations and switching as well as setting all the turnouts so that the trains will run along the mainline in a continuous loop. I read all about people setting their height to approximately 50" give or take, and decided that I like to sit down in a chair and relax while running trains. So mine layout is the height of a standard table. <br /> <br />Trevor
