I am considering tearing out my 30+ year old Northern Pacific layout and starting over in On30. Why you might ask? The truth is other than operating my HO layout, I really haven't done much work on the layout in a couple years. Planely stated, I guess I'm board with it. I enjoy the planing and building parts of model railroading far more than continuing on with a project that has lost it's vitality. I may scrap this whole idea and go back to the HO layout, as I haven't commited to the new layout, yet! A few years back, the wife and I went to Colorado and we rode the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge. The narrow gauge really appealed to me as I have been a reader of The Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette for many-many years. A couple of years back I felt if I did switch to narrow gauge I would like to do Sn3. I built a PBL Stock Car and really felt that I loved building these car kits. However, the cost of PBL Locomotives put me off. About a year ago, I bought three On30 cars: a Bachmann Caboose, a Bachmann Reefer and a an Accucraft Box car. I now have bought another Accucraft car and a Bachmann Stearns Heisler locomotive. I purchased AnyRail 6 and have drawn out a point to loop mainline with a switch back to a Logging Camp at the far end. Although this layout is very simple, it would be built using the TOMA (The One Modual Approch) and it would be built on 7 moduals that would be easily carried out of my basement and there would be no Duck Unders.
I have talked about this idea before; but, possibly not here at this forum.
