I've begun restoration on a 16'x16' layout I built some years back when my children were little.  Now that they have children, the layout (having sat dormant for several years) takes on new meaning for play/build time with grandchildren.  I never finished the scenic work, so it's perfect for little hands to plaster and paint.  I'm running a Hogger and I've got lots of control blocks and remote switches, but something strange happens when I"m at the end of the stretched out cord....
