Liberty Industrial Spur

[Justinmiller171]

So the question becomes - what is it that makes you abandon a plan and start looking for another?

Well Mainly because they were all to large for me to complete, but also they didn't interest me enough to work on, besides for being interesting to work on, I want a layout that has a prototype that I can study, I like doing research on railroad related stuff, I love reading about how real railroads operated and how industries were switches, etc....

Here is a list of the model railroads that I have started (all are currently dismantled) :

1. 4x8, got it to the scenery stage but tore it up to build a switching layout, didn't have a theme but was still interesting to work on

2. Miami layout, I got track down but could never run trains on it due electrical problems, it was interesting to work on at first but realised it was too much for me to build

3. SP layout, I once again only got track down, realised it was an uninteresting theme and tore up track

4. Liberty Industrial Spur, I got track and wiring done, It was fun but scenery was too daunting of a task and it was also an uninteresting theme

The interesting thing I have noticed is that the only layout I actually enjoyed was the 4x8, even though it had a generic theme and had very low operational abilities
