General Discussion / Re: Slowest Layout Builder?

My first one took 12 years, but so much of that time was paralysis due to not knowing how to move forward on a particular area.


The one I plan on beginning on February 22, 2026 I hope will go faster.

I've decided to tackle:

Woodwork
Soldering
Wiring
DCC (Or DCC-light)
Weathering

Quote from: madchadbrad on February 17, 2026, 11:23:38 PMI think I have quite a lot of SPAM material in my collection ... mostly wagons but a few locos as well. Wren-Lima, Hornby-Minitrix, some early Graham Farish/Grafar ...

I'm stunned at the amount of wagon liveries Lima produced! A very nice collection there! Kev E.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Today at 10:24:46 AMWoke up this morning at 04.15 to the insistent 'beep' of the smoke alarm telling me the batteries needed replacing. No consideration for others, these things ::)
Still, better than the alternative, I s'pose :)

This is the only reason I can think of for firearms being made legal  :veryangry:

Quote from: ntpntpntp on Today at 05:54:25 PMThat's a 2nd generation one with open frame motor?  I had one of the originals with the plastic chassis and can motor.  It fell apart after not much use, which was a shame as it had been a present from Dad.  A few parts survive under other projects.

Yes appears to be 2nd gen with the open frame 3 pole
