A toy train layout is never finished. I have built several over the years, and the ones that I have gotten finished, I either sold or gave away.

If you believe the good ones, you'll believe the bad ones. It's better to look at 'em after you've finished the run.

The garden has been set out to the original layout.

When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, Do you have any toy train schedules?

[...] its small squares of fast-passing light, the early evening windows of the lives of hundreds of others.

That's all I did. That's why I built the thing. I remember I'd always come home after school and drag my net into the street and take shots all afternoon with my friends.
