Constant rebuilding...
I experiment at home what the club layout members wouldn't accept! ;-)
The club layout, since it started in 2007, is always changing. At first, it was hard for me. My idea of a layout was stylish, scenic and "realist". But I've learned the hard way and now enjoy doing thing in a different manners. I think it's why my interest in rolling stocks and realistic operation grew since then. Before, I was more into the "WOW" and scenery.
It's also the reason why there's no scenic work done at all (ballast, ground cover), except a peninsula totally dedicated to scenic experiments. We came to the conclusion it would be a waste of time and money to invest in that. The idea is that an operation layout is like the real thing, it evolves according to the needs. However, the era and locale is pretty well define, so we just explore from different angles the same subject. We've just finished completing the new trackage and we were already talking about new improvements and modification.
