50 Year Layout

I hope that when the newswire says that the “new railroad museum and will feature a model railroad layout built over a span of 50 years” it means the layout will feature model trains of prototypes and not that the layout will take 50 years to build. Of course I would not be surprised if it does take 50 years to build if it is a large layout,

Well since I will be building (FINALLY) the basement sized “dream layout” in the next couple years, it will definitely be a 50 year layout since I first got into the hobby on Christmas of 1956!

Would be nice if I could drive the golden spike on Christmas of 2006…but I’m not holding my breath on that one!
