I am back after a twenty year absence, and I am just about finished with my fourth layout.
This time around, I have zero scenery. I built my layout on plywood (painted a light green with paint left over from painting the bedroom) with cork roadbed and Flextrackwith # 6 turnouts. I just like to see the engines and cars run. I like tinkering with the electrical components in the engines and keeping the rolling stock in good operating condition.
My previous layouts had scenery, and I spent too much time cleaning, dusting and repairing, not to mention the electrickery. Plus, when I looked at someone else’s in a magazine compared to mine, I would not be pleased with myself. In time, it just got old.
Now, I just play and enjoy it.
Does anyone else feel like that?
