Welcome to the Hootersville Layout blog. The comments that I make here relate to someone that has never before attempted to build a HO scale layout before. I'm going to make a ton of mistakes along the way and it is these adventures that hopefully will have you saying "if this guy can build a layout and still have fun .........." I hope you enjoy my trip into building Hootersville.

Its Operational ! Yeah !!
Well Little Hoot is now operational after a bunch of thinking, bad mouthing, head banging, and that was just figuring out the logistics of it all. I even made up four couplete senerio's for each of the eleven cars that I have for Little Hoot. I ran two complete senerio's over the weekend and discovered that if you run them complete you had better have between three and four hours to devote to it. Using a Random Generator to make up each step in the possible senerio for each car was mind boggleing but I think it puts on a true to life possibility for each car. If you consider that each car works its own senerio independantly from the other cars you can generate over 100 different switchlists. When you remember that Little Hoot is a layout only 24" by 96" and running eleven cars during a run can really be a challenge to operate. I really think that I'll wear out Little Hoot long before it gets boring.
