Here is a contradiction for contemplation....
The mighty NYC in California has had over 55 people helping with construction.
Many are HO modelers, some are S modelers, a few are O modelers, one N modeler
and two custom builders who work in all scales (one engine and one structure).
Large complex layouts frequently have more than just the owner working on them
or else they would never get finished.
Bruce Chubb, of HO and CMRI fame, has two work crews which come over on two
nights per week. Each crew has 20+ members I have been told. That is a lot of
manhours to dump into layout building.
Right now a retired software engineer is working on the NYC's JMRI Logix
programming so that the signals will function as they should. A complex task
for most, but this guy actually thrives on it. Everybody has a specialty it
seems.
The lone wolf with a large layout is a rare breed these days. An informal
group effort is much more common -- at least around here.
