Instead, I have it hanging on the garage wall to remind me of all the the mistakes that can possibly be made by a model railroader, and how I made them all on one layout. [:D]

The shell is the same as the Mikado. It has six heavyweight cars to go with it. There's 15 tubes of Aristocraft 8' SS flex in the basement ready to go in when the snow melts. My summer was spent hauling rock and dirt around to build the mountains and level the roadbed. I also put in an 8' x 18' pond with a waterfall. It's too much trouble to be moving a lot of dirt around once the track is in place so I wanted to get the landscaping out of the way first. Still, there's a lot of work to be done and bridges to be constructed before I can call it a proper layout.

Reply vsmith Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Smoggy L.A. 10,743 posts Posted by vsmith on Thursday, December 15, 2005 4:29 PM I do believe I had the worst layouts, 2 of them, each right after the other. But..I cant enter this one....cause I burned all photos and evidence of ever attempting the construction. The first, in HOn30 was a Micro layout for my tiny studio aptartment, built ouf of foam in the kitchen, all 18" x 24" of it, everything that could go wrong did. the foam didnt glue right, it carved badly, the track didnt stay down the paint ran, or didnt adhere correctly, nothing worked, then as if a sign from above, it got knocked off a shelve in an EQ and I just chucked it into the dumpster after that. Woof it was bad![:(] the second was after we moved to a (slightly) bigger place that had a garage, so I gave it a whack again, HOn30 since i still had the previous lines stuff. 24 x 48 this time, again was a disaster, again ended up in the dumpster. I hung up my HOn30 hat and vowed I wound never do a larger layout in that scale again! Too dam small![V] I'd show my indoor large scale line which is incomplete but I dont think an incomplete layout should be included, this should be for ham-fists like me who couldnt add scenery to the broad side of a scale barn![;)] Have fun with your trains Reply twhite Member sinceJuly 2004 From: Carmichael, CA 8,055 posts Posted by twhite on Thursday, December 15, 2005 3:44 PM Yah, right!
