My staging yard is directly behind the main yard of my layout.  This makes the yard look larger and is the best use of the space I have.  In order to make the layout seem larger, I am planning on running the train around the room one time and pretending the town is a different town (i.e. having one physical location on the layout be multiple locations along the right of way).  Am I asking for trouble, or is this a good way to lengthen the layout?

I've got two projects going on at this time.  

One: I'm building the newly designed Augusta Railroad

Two: I'm designing Rick Wade's Richlawn Railroad Version 2

Come have some fun with us!

Well, "Great" may be overstating it just a touch, but it is what it is.  As those that have been following my pitiful blog over the last few weeks know, I have decided to switch from N scale to HO scale for two main reasons:  I've been collecting as much or more HO stuff (that mostly isn't available in N) which has created a divide in my hobby allowance forcing me to put off doing stuff on my N scale layout.  I felt more I needed to pick one and go with it, and the availability of stuff I want in HO wins hands down.
