For large buildings, a lot of the work can be repetitive - once you’ve worked
out how to build one floor, or fit an elaborate window, you buy bulk and repeat.
Admittedly the same may be true if you want to build a line of identical rolling
stock, but buildings usually result in something bigger.
Our club layouts have generally used long and narrow sections, so you just have
a slice of town or countryside alongside the railway, rather than an entire
planned city. So, although you have a fair amount of scenery, the trains remain
the focal point.
