Okay, I'm not tearing up my layout...but I came very close to this weekend...I visited some nice layouts this past weekend, via the Metro North Tour. In particular Bob Collet's and John Elwood's ( see pics on our Facebook Page). I was thoroughly reminded of what kind of modeling I really like to build...super detailed, 1950's steam / diesel era modeling...yet at the same time I'm very into this present day modeling I've been doing on my layout....so my first option was to just rip up any modern structures and details on my existing layout and start back dating it. I quickly nixed that plan after reading the recent issue of RMC, where a modeler used PVC pipes to create easy, light weight but strong bench work for his modules. So I'm going to give that a try. I worked up a simple, waterfront track plan of 2'x 10' ( see pic above). Using those pics I'll work up a more refined track plan, by tracing the photo in the PC. I'll post that once it's done...and maybe get to that bench work this weekend.
