Fred: You are right! It has been said by many model railroaders that getting trains up and running is the best incentive to keep active in the "building and doing" stage of the hobby. At the end of a long day, even if I don't have the energy to work on any construction projects, it is always fun to just run the trains.
Which gets us back to the point of Bill's original post -- don't delay, get something running in 2011!
