Welp here in one of the layout rooms is the "clean slate". It is meant to be a branch off the main layout. How long as anyone sat there and looked at empty benchwork or a table like this for? I think its been floating around the basement for about 9 months. Time to get going I guess lol

Uggggh, I sat looking at one for 5 years before I was able to get going on it.  It's exciting to start a new, though.  I found starting over was the quickest way for me to get a train running, if that makes any sense.  :?

Well I still have  my main layout. This is a branch off the main layout. This will let me do some switching and slow speed running and have some tighter curves.

Do you have any pictures posted of your main layout?

I am actually planning on expanding mine eventually on to another door, so I'm planning scenery around that eventuality.  I figure one door at a time and we'll see where it all ends.

Surprisingly I have not taken any picture of that layout yet. You can see what it looked like before I ripped up the track and put foam down. Its going to look like it did before, but maybe without as much track and the second track ripped up. Here is a link

It looks like you'll have a nice little set up there.  I'm planning a second HCD extension on mine as well with a larger yard and a couple more industries.  That will be down the road a ways, but I'm thinking ahead.
