As noted in another thread, I have decided to close down my intermodal area. The reason is that the MI-Jack crane has declined in play value to the point where I rarely try to use it. Part of the problem may be the placement of the controls relative to the position of the crane, but the main reason is that it just does not work well. I will not use another operating accessory. It will be a static display. One appropriate to the area. I should have it completed next week. Here is what the area looked like. and how it looks now. i will have to build over this "pavement." The adhesive on that stuff is incredible. Very hard to remove.

I like it either way. It does look less crowded though.

That is a good section to re-work. There are a lot of options without too much track change. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing changes.

Very appropriate theme for this area.

Forrest, I did like the intermodal crane as an industrial scene rather than an operating accessory. I'm not a big fan of operating accessories. I find them to be very unreliable and more frustrating than enjoyable. A static scene looks good and gives a reason for the trains. I look forward to seeing what you replace the crane with.

All too true: if it ain't good for play, don't let it stay.

This may take longer than I thought. Some delays in acquiring stuff.
