    #89 - Starting over
    Jan 29 2026

    In this episode, we discuss starting over on your layout building with Neil Maldeis. Neil is an NMRA MMR who moved to a new home and started over from scratch. Ken Zieska talks about starting over on his basement empire, but not removing the entire layout, just starting over scene by scene.

    Operations play a big role in the planning and development of a new layout, and upgrading an older basement filler.

    Neil Maldeis MMR, Ken Zieska, and Thomas Gasior MMR are featured in this episode.
