I would like to interconnect three (or more) different model railroads to form a rail system . Simply remove the focus on the miles of interconnecting tracks and model them through instructions. A simple railroad would be Chicago, via Cleveland, to Pittsburgh. 800 miles of tracks are not needed. Instead the three cities are represented by "model railroads". Timing and events are managed by intermediate instructions to account for delays, transit times and other normal events associated with long haul routes.
This may be a bad idea but I am tired of modeling miles of tracks, trees, bushes, grass, towns etc. I would instead like to focus more on functions, as represented by the "model railroads"as end points. Train makeup, delivery/pickup of "things". Create a consist and send it on to one or more "model" locations for prescribed actions.
Any opinions?
