I know that these questions have been asked before it's just that the number of topics to search are just to many, so I would like to know a little about your layout....
The first question is what scale do you model, and how big of a room is your layout in? How long have you been working on your layout? How much of your layout is compleate? How often do you work on your layout?



Layout: the Borracho Springs Railroad, serving the Borracho tequila factory, the town of Borracho, and the FUBAR mining consortium. Location southwestern US roughly Arizona-New Mexico border with Mexico. Era between 1947 and 1957.

Scale:

1/2" = 1 foot or 1:24 using G guage 45mm track for a 3'-6" scale guage

Size:

20' long width varies from 8'-0" on one side to 5'-6" in the middle to 10'-0" on the other side. Inside the rear of my garage and under a storage loft.

Completeness:

Age: 6 months

Benchwork: 100%

Trackwork: 100% original design but adding a small yard with leftover track.

Wiring: 95% with one small yard left to wire

Scenery: 0% thats part of this seasons work

Buildings: 5 out of 20 planned structures in hand, again part of this seasons work.

Loco's and Cars: more than I have room for.

How often do I work on it?

Not nearly enough, but as much as I can allow.

   Have fun with your trains
