    Great imagination. However a 59' long layout might be a little excessive for a basement. I can understand why the Gag Rule may have been voted by Friends and Family. :tb-tongue:

    I know the feeling. Not so much regarding model railroading, being inactive currently, but there are so many things that feel like burdens after a while.
