Morfa will be a long time coming; when one man tries to fill a big space with hand built models it's inevitable. Reading the railway press it would seem that most layouts are tackled in layers, beginning with the baseboards, working one's way through track, wiring, landscape, coming to a conclusion with with buildings and details. I've an idea that when looked at by the time and motion men this would probably be judged the most efficient/fastest method. Morfa could daunt if tackled this way, and many of the creative choices stifled at an unnecessarily early stage. I've deliberately gone scattergun, bringing to completion many of the small component parts that will go to make up the whole without much care about their chronological necessity. I therefore find myself with half finished 'proper' track, jury rigged wiring, baseboards lacking the front profile sections, yet some completed structures and road vehicles. By breaking the workload down into manageable chunks measurable progress can be greater than the glacial pace of the whole .....
