Hi Ed. A very cogent observation. More and more of us are coming to the conclusion that less is more, particularly when we see ourselves running out of our alloted number of heartbeats.
I was at Trevor's place yesterday to work on the Sept 1 resumption of The Model Railway Show (themodelrailwayshow.com) and had the opportunity to run his Port Rowan branch. Trevor's simple track plan is now complete and fully operational. At 15 mph scale speeds, with the proper prototypical stops for switching, it took 45 minutes to move a half dozen cars around his 5-turnout branchline terminal. That's about all the running either he or I ever want to do before heading to the beer parlour at the "Railroad Hotel".

Lance Mindheim (HO), Trevor Marshall (S), and Mike Cougill (O) have discovered that even with a simple track plan and limited space a satisfying and challenging layout can be built. It's worth giving some thought. Ed Kozlowsky Sanford, Maine sscale.org >
