What’s too much to chew off?
On the basis that I want to *build* stuff, but may not go into that process always having planned quite as much as I should, it seems sensible (at least to me) to have a number of projects on the go, all at the same time
Maybe that’s insane
The problem is, I have a huge amount to achieve, but need to learn how to get things done before I commit to the main layout.
So it seemed to make sense to me to have three different ways to workshop a few ideas. What are the best types of points (and motors)? What’s the best way to build scenery? What’s the most appropriate baseboard or underlay material?
My solution
So I’ve decided to attempt three things at once. Reckless fool.
admittedly one of these isn’t much to write home about.
but there are loads of things I want to try. I have the MERG eazybus kits which have been sitting on a shelf staring at me for months (if not years). Thats probably a really neat solution for a small shunting plank.
Why do I hate layout planning so much? It because it feels so impractical. And I’m so deeply impatient to Just Get Trains Running. This is the real ethos of Rule 1 Railway – a loco running, anywhere, is magnitudes better rather than a loco sitting in a box. Just. Get. Trains. Running.
Complex layout plans can wait. Protypically long headshunt schematics can get in the sea. I just want to watch a train run, even round and round in a circle would be something.
