MRH and TrainMasters TV have started a new layout project to be a featured video series on the 2017 season of TMTV. There will also be several construction projects for this layout coming to the pages of MRH in 2017 as well. It’s turning out to be a fun project: see this issue’s Reverse Running for how it might actually be too fun! Working on this project and building a new layout from the ground up using TOMA (The “One Module” Approach) methods has got me thinking about how I would approach building my Siskiyou Line layout if I were starting over. A lot has changed in the methods and approaches to building a layout since I started my Siskiyou Line 25 years ago.

But before I get into that, let me add that if I were starting over, I would still model the SP Siskiyou Line in the 1980s.
