6. I hope I have not established unrealistic expectations for others.I've wrestled far more from the original door layout plan than I ever should have. But that's not to say such a strategy will work every time. Lou Sassi's plan is not readily translatable to every situation, and neither is it always (or often) advisable to attempt massive mainline railroad infrastructure in the space of a hollow-core door. For example, I would never try to fit Rockville Bridge or Horseshoe Curve on the door because gargantuan size is such an integral part of both scenes. The scenes I've modeled (Spruce Creek, Lewistown) are much more manageable, and even then, I've applied so much selective compression they're only marginally recognizable. In 2' x 6'8" I've added what is essentially a tiny little yard, but called it Enola. Enola was, in the era I model, the largest railroad classification yard on the planet.... I recognize the Juniata Division's shortcomings. I fix those I can and accept, if begrudgingly, those I cannot. Someday almost assuredly it will be recycled, and every tree, telephone pole, and plastic citizen will find itself on another iteration of the Standard Railroad of the World...one that will be so much better because of the countless lessons I've learned from the Juniata Division.
5. I'm still dumbfounded by how popular the Juniata Division is.
This is how it travels:
