Charlie b's layout

[Bob C]

Charlie, I think I see what you're aiming at - and it's brilliant. You're going to have a challenging to build and scenic representation of a real chunk of the world - one that really means something to you - and of an operating rail system with Mainline, Yard and Industrial focal points...and a reasonable build time-frame. Congrats on arriving at this plan, and organizing the facility and resources to make it go. I'm also sure your many friends can be "coerced" into assisting with any heavy lifting necessary. Good on ya ! Bob C.
