Do I need a layout?

[trainfan1221]

I'm sure quite a few people don't have an actual layout. Mine is not huge, but I get what I need out of it. If you could build something small just to get into modeling that would be nice, some people simply build individual scenes and display their trains. I can sympathize with not having room for an actual layout, I used to be in a similar position for years.

After along time of planning and figuring, I have decided that having a complete layout is not practical for me. I think i will have to be content with colecting my favorite HO models and running them at the local club. I may try to build a micro layout, but many micros require special comstruction techniques, so I will probably have to get some experince first. Does anyone here do the same thing and not have a layout ?
