This whole thing reminds me of my trip to TRAIN AMERICA here in PA. The whole layout is HUGE and breath taking when you first see it but it is all the little things in it that make up the big picture. In asense I guess 6 of one and a half a dozen of the other, alll told it will work ouy.

Re layout photos, as several of you have commented, I also like the closeups – but I’d very much like to see how they fit into the entire layout, either by using an overall view or a layout plan. For example, see my article, “Trains in LA - Lower Alabama,” in the December 2005 issue of “The Lion Roars” (LCCA). Though some may disagree with me, I really like the overall shots of the SWARM and BARR modular layouts, and I used a few closeups to show details. (And I thank editor Mike Mottler and his graphics arts people for working with my amateur photography to make it look presentable!)
Also, I enjoy reading all the comments about each new issue of CTT as I wait for my copy to make it here to “Lower Alabama.” We had some big delays following the hurricanes but, after hearing from me, CTT rushed two issues to me by first class mail.
