Tuesday night (7/29/08 ) i will try to quit smoking again so i need something to keep me busy. I will build a small switching layout ( 2.5'x13' ) in the dining room. I found a trackplan here

http://andrews-trains.fotopic.net/c374578.html

called the 12th st and tuttle and modified it to my liking. Please take a look and tell me what you all think. Any criticism and or advice is welcome.

Good for you! A few years ago a guy was in the office trying to find a way to save money and we figured out that at his rate of smoking (a pack a day) it would be over $1,500 a year. It has to be more now. So look how much more money you will have for trains (or anything else that you might want to buy)

The layout looks like fun. Will have fun moving the cars around and planning out your moves. Plus it will give lots of opportunites for scenery and building.

It looks like it has every thing you would need for good operation. Shifting the crossover track on the left side of the run around might allow for a slightly longer train, but I don't know if the layout has room for a slightly longer train.

Thanks all.
Well, this is my third day of quitting smoking. Still trying.
Russ, I did reverse that left hand turnout so that it points to the right now. I did lose a little run around length, but operation is a lot better. The longest train I will run will be 4 40' cars.
Haven't started construction yet, to much honey do stuff.

Well, it's been 5 days and i still haven't smoked. Feeling good about it and started on the layout today. I forgot to mention I am using a quit smoking aid called smoker rx. I tried all the other stuff before ( patches,gum, and so on ) and it did not work. This stuff is working for me and it is all natural.

Steamhead, how are you doing? Have you made a commitment yet? Please keep us informed.

About my foot, I got to a vascular specialist in time, so the foot is still ok. I had ultra sounds done last week and i go back on the 8th for the results. I will definitely have to have either stents or grafts done to relieve the blockage.

Nothing to show on the layout yet. I am reusing the lumber I have ( some of the lumber has been used on 3 layouts now ) so i am patching holes and painting it again.

Steamhead, first off I do not work for this company or any thing like that. My wife happened to find it for me. Like I said, smoker rx worked for me when nothing else did.
It has made quiting a lot easier. All natural and no nicotine. Just some pills you take.
Do a web search for smoker rx. I am sold on it. I had some nasty side effects with some of the other quit smoking stuff, but no problems with smoker rx.

No body likes a quitter Loren.... (ducks for cover...)

Good for you bro!

For a second I thought the thread title meant you were quitting MRR. That would have sucked. Yer, like, one of my fans! LOL!!!!

Man, when I quit, I just laid 'em down, and said "no more." I had only smoked because it was fun, but when it was no longer fun, and no longer my choice to smoke, I'd had enough!
Prayer, and lots of it, saw me through! If I hadn't quit when I did, I wouldn't have the beautiful wife I have. (I quit before we met.)
