Lodi
Junction II - Ann Arbor Revisited
Genesis
Every layout story is built upon lessons
learned. Sometimes we learn
from others, while sometimes we learn from our own misadventures.
In my case, lessons came from the latter resource, which were more
than abundant.
My interest in N scale began with the gift of an Atlas starter set in
1988. Amazed by the small size
and realistic appearance, I immediately started dreaming of building a
huge N scale empire. And I started buying N scale equipment wherever and
whenever I could, without regard to practicality or realism.
I had the train bug.
I bought stuff because I thought it looked cool, and I bought stuff
because it was on sale. I had
four or five different types of locomotives with four or five different
road names – none of which were remotely in the same geographic region.
My early layouts had no identity, and no reason for existing other than to
serve as a place to run trains.
