You can tell me, I can keep a secret.

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building
1

With all of the devotees of layout planning in this forum, I am wondering how many are planning on taking the plunge and entering MR’s official layout planning contest. (entry deadline October 31st!) I haven’t done so in years. But I think I’m going to take a shot at it because I have a specific idea for a layout plan I want to pursue.

Let’s face it, I’m just trying to guage the competition…

I rarely if ever enter a competition. Maybe one in the last decade or so, formal or informal.

I will if I can get it drawn in time and have something decent written to acompany it. I was going to enter the last one but ran out of time. I like contests since they give me a chance to practice layout design.

Nope.

I can’t design my own layout let alone one for a contest.

I am but now that I’ve imparted that piece of information to you I have to hunt you down and kill you!

I just learned of it. I thought it might be fun, but I’ve had so little free time lately, I don’t want to commit myself.

7

I doubt I will. Good luck to you all.

8

I might throw my hat into the ring.

Especailly since it’s an excuse to design something I really don’t plan on building.

Since I find myself in that agonizing part of model railroading known as “what kind of layout do I want”, I look forward to seeing some of the “professionals” work their magic.

Is there anywhere online to read the guidelines? I havent seen anything

I am in the early stages of a new N scale layout planning and if I can spend enough time away from the kids and work to get it presentable by then I will send it in.

Good luck to everyone!
