Been having the problem of life getting in the way here, Corey.
I am giving in to the idea of downsizing my layout. While having the benefit of having a HUGE layout, I have come to the point where I think having something a tad smaller might make for more fun. Having a single train pass by every couple of minutes when operating solo, has lost some of its pleasure. Still, when friends do stop by, the larger layout is a lot of fun. We have had many different trains running simultaneously(including the switchers and locals), but those sessions are becoming a thing of the past. Some of the older guys have passed on and some others are getting out of the hobby. Sorry to see that, to say the least.
A gentleman has made a very generous offer for the current layout. I might even be able to add a couple of more steam engines to the roster(like I need more trains) and build a new smaller layout.
I understand that I've not been the only one MIA. Has anyone heard from Jim?
littlefoot, I see you've joined my other "hideaway" forum. The group there is good too.
