hey yall.i found a small spot in my garage for a 4 by 8 layout.and was thinking it would be nice to have a change from the mid west to the...well west! :mrgreen:.i love deep gorges,and big elevation changes.i plan on it being set in the twenties but no real time zone will be followed.but shays and i believe climaxes were still around so big grades aren't a problem.i don't care if its for logging or mining.the small trackplans i have seen they look virtually the same.but any info is greatly appreciated.this will be the first western layout i ever built,so i don't know much and any of you westerners knowledge is greatly appreciated.thanks in advance.--josh
