What to do with a pair of H0n30 Shays - Layout ideas wanted

[jwb]

I think the question is what you're trying to accomplish. If the Shays are "cute" and lend themselves to a sort of cutsey-pie display layout, that's one thing. If they prompt a more serious interest in logging railroads and their operations, that's another. You can certainly do a "serious" logging railroad model in a limited space, though this would probably take more research and planning than just something cutsey-pie. It depends on how much effort you want to spend, how much time you want to devote, and who you're trying to interact with or impress. I tend to lose interest when we get to cutsey-pie, but that's just me.
