Chris's Big Layout

[PMW]

SWMBO discovered my top secret project. She ordered me to cancel it immediately.

I'm surprised. The change didn't change the footprint of the layout.
Maybe try reasoning with her....just kidding

I was going to give him some of my worldly advice, but...

I was afraid he would take it, and end up sleeping in the garage with the layout!

Hallelujah ! Today is a great day. The Love of my Life finally authorized me to build my big layout (roughly 7'x7'). For the record, everything I previously wrote about her (SWMBO) is just an urban legend.
She really loves me. Now, I can run very long trains !

I forgot to mention I applied the famous KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) to my layout
The two bridges/duck-under need a coat of paint very soon.

 

[Colbert]

Done !

I forgot to mention that my layout runs on butane gas (the red can under the controller).

Christrian, I think you might be full of gas!

My layout doesn't run on butane but I always have a highly flammable gas on hand in case I decide to blow the damn thing up

OMG ! I just have a very small problem here in Europe. It seems that the Rivarossi Big Boy have completely disappeared from the market.

Unless we all receive gift cards for our favourite hobby shop by Christmas your SWMBO will mysteriously find a catalog with that loco and price circled in red in her mailbox.
What are friends for?
