Yep, Todd, goals in this hobby change over the years.

All that collecting for 35 years while working full time, dreaming of the large retirement layout that I'd build.

As I will turn 70 next spring, I've checked the actuarial tables and realize that I have neither time left, space or money for the large layout. I also realized finally, that I'm more of a railroad model builder, than a model railroader.  But models of railroad equipment (or any vehicle) are not realistic without the kinetic component.

So, as the kitchen remodel winds down, I hope to start benchwork on a relatively simple around the room layout next week, to run whatever C&S trains that I can build in the time left to me.

And you did mention doing Gilpin Tram in On3 -- to get back to the purpose of the thread, there is an Overland Gilpin Shay number 5 currently listed on eBay:
