As I've said before - a layout using Marx 4-wheel tongue and slot equipment in realistic operations can be more interesting to some than exquisitely detailed models chasing themselves around a loop of track.
The high standards I set for SHABBONA RR in years past (detail on AF carbodies was "too crude" in my earliest days) have plateaued and are now declining to "good enough". I put a photo in the Files section the other day to demonstrate the direction I'm taking now.
