So I can do whatever I want and not worry about it looking wrong. I know about selective compression but don't think I could follow through with it scaled down too much at all. It still just wouldn't look right to me. Not with a somewhat urban landscape I'd like to operate anyhow. There is one large exception to all this though. When the layout is expanded, I'd like to include a single track branch line. I'd like to represent the industry on the Oswego Branch from just West of the PC/NYC main in Syracuse to Baldwinsville. Alot of customers are still there, albeit most are truck customers now. Also, I remember alot about the things that are gone.That I think I can pull off and make it believable. Plus, there was/is more on than that stretch than most realize. Apprecaite the input Schuyler, thanks. Todd K.
