My annual job break will happen next Tuesday. I will be back in (home) office in October.
Now, this layout change is more or less a turn back. I prefer the clean and slick optic of white shoe boxes and yellow Gensets. That is a perfect match for SoCal. I missed it so much while I built the last layout sceneries.
I am still looking for a slice of prototype in the LA basin that will be a fine ISL model in my limited space. That would be a great motivation to do a new track plan. We will be on vacation soon and I will have to make my mind until and of March building new decoration only or model after the prototype. Todays dismantling was a kick in my own a... to get things started.
ps. The down side of my preferred scenery happened already. The small ISL space shrink dramatically when I started switching with a pair of Genset. It makes a huge difference if one SW1200 or two Genset switch four 50' cars on a small ISL.
