Layout Building Productivity
Part 1
Modeling real railroads and what they do
I
go to as many Prototype Modeling meets as I can. This
year so far I’ve attended Prototype Rails in Cocoa Beach,
FL in January, the RPM Valley Forge Meet in Malvern, PA
in March and the New England Proto Meet in Collinsville, CT
in June. I go to lots of others, but those are the ones I almost
never miss.
I was talking to one fellow before my clinic in Malvern and he
mentioned that he was looking forward to meeting me in per-
son because he assumed I was some kind of super-productive
overachiever -- an impression he’d gleaned from reading my
articles and listening to me talk about my layout efforts on The
Scotty Mason Show podcast I do monthly. I laughed, because I
know better, but it got me thinking about what it takes to actu-
ally get things done, and it also caused me to reflect on the
pace of my railroad activities of late.
