300 seems to be the treshold of insanity.
He has been building this monster for 5
years and still hasn't seen a train run!
There is also a gentleman that is in his
early 80's that just purchased 10 CASES
of flex. He has an around the wall layout
that he just finished the benchwork for
and it runs contiuous in a 48' X 36' basement!
He will use at least 250 switches and 3 Turn Tables!!!
The width will vary from 18" up to 30" with 3-4
pennisulas just for the added torture!
He figures to see it 10-20% completed then his
3 sons are to see it through completion.
BTY, he has never, ever built a layout of any kind before.
Now thats a hoobyist guys.:thumb:
On my layout I'm using chalk for some ballast weathering
and even on a few of my rolling stock. Very messy but seems
to be giving me the results I want and is easier to work in than paint.
More pix when business slows down here. Maybe
2010 or so.
Lynn, When are you going to post more pix?
