Actually, Kalmbach copied my $500 layout idea, published in their Sept03 CTT magazine. Mine was much bigger.

It's not bad. If space permits, a layout like this can EASILY be expanded lengthwise. More industries and a larger town created. Possibilites are endless.

For me this layout wouldn't work as I'm more into the flatter terrains of the Eastern U.S. It would be neat if they did offer $500 type layouts with various terrains and geographic areas.

What do you think of MR's $500 project layout. ? not the fact that it showed how to build a layout under $500, but the layout itself. It had nice sencery and good efect but the trackplan is dull in my opinion.
