We were talking about extra “wow” icons - can we have a “groan” too?

Yes please

But not necessarily the same layout. My On30 locos won't fit under the overbridge on my O-16.5 layout!

My British O won't run on my US O layout for two reasons -
1. My US layout is DCC, My UK locos aren't.
2. My UK stuff can't cope with my rough US trackwork either!!

And corners, I guess the us stock can do much tighter radius curves?

I’ve just caught up with this thread and put my hands up too. EM, 16mm and 009 so far, with some random thoughts about a tram layout of uncertain scale/gauge…

Ah, yes. Three reasons...
Starting to think of Monty Python here....

Glad it's not just me! I started my N gauge U shaped layout round the walls of my home office as a lockdown sanity saver, but became rather put off by the poor quality and unreliability of the steam locos (diesels were ok). I then got sidetracked by an IOW 00 L shaped shunting plank shelf which works well, but is very cramped. I also can't see me building anything in N other than buildings and the odd wagon kit, but 00 is a possibility. My next project will another be another N shunting plank shelf to use up all the stock I can't fit on the first N layout! Oh well. it keeps me amused, and I do enjoy designing and building it all, which after is the point, isn't it!
