Invisible Layout Plans

Thanks to a gentleman at our local train club, I found out what color "rock color" is. It isn't any color. It is a variety of colors.

We attended our local NMRA meeting that was held at our local club. All of the model railroad club members shared their knowledge and time to explain how they put their amazing layout together.

We are holding our first open house at our home layout in four weeks. In such a short time I have to decide whether to keep the scenery I designed or try to change it. We are working on scenery another two weeks then working strictly on making sure the layout is operationable.

My next step is to make sure all the benchwork gaps are filled. Then whatever remaining time I have devote to adding more scenery.

One thing that makes this a challenge for me is Denny's layout plan. It is in his head. I've looked and I cannot see it. I am a visual person that has to see it in front of me or it doesn't exist.

I've made the most perfect rock bed over an area that was supposed to be a road. The groundcover section was spectacular until I found out it was for a row of level buildings.

How do you get a layout plan out of your husband's head?

Until next time don't compare yourself to others. We are all on different paths with different plans. Go your own way and enjoy the adventures along the way.
