When I was in N I bought everything that fit my time period and things I thought I might need down the road "for the big layout". That took up a lot of storage space. Most of those items never saw any time on any of my layouts. The good thing is, though, that I am selling those items on eBay to help fund my switch to S! :-)
However, my personal philosophy now is to not buy anything unless I absolutely need to have it for what I am working on for the layout currently. It helps keep costs down and helps me stay focused. Even though I enjoy scratchbuilding, my wish list does include the B.T.S. "Cabin Creek Coal Tipple" and the Grand River Models warehouse. But I am not going to buy those things until I am ready for them on the layout. Perhaps Barry might do what B.T.S. and other companies do... carry multiple scales. I like what he's doing, and I'd hate to see him leave the scale as a manufacturer. OK... Back to laying the DCC bus feeder wires for my new layout... - Peter. At 02:05 pm 10/09/2008, you wrote: >...
