CHANGE: "The more things change, the more they stay the same." anonymous
Building a model railroad is almost like being a god. We get to create it anyway we wish; big or small, old time or modern, steam or diesel, city or rural. But, unlike God, it is not perfect, we see defects and ways to make it better. We see the need to CHANGE! BUT, look at all the Effort I put into this! All the Money! All the Time! To CHANGE a CREATION is sacrilege! So, maybe we aren't ready to be gods! Maybe WE should consider EVOLUTION! We start out small and simple, add a little here and there, get more room, find more money, learn new skills. All this prepares us for the dreaded CHANGE! But wait, from the beginning this layout has been evolving, and evolution is change. See, now change is not so big and threatening, it's just a little thing. Now change is something we can cope with and someday even embrace.
Here is a little about the changes I made, or better, how my diorama evolved over time.

Rocks take shape with Lightweight Spackling.
