Has anyone built the "N Scale Model Railroad That Grows" layout??

Hi All! I am just wondering if anyone has built the layout from the book "N Scale Model Railroad That Grows" by Kent Wood and Ric Laban.
I am thinking of building this layout, and was just curious if anyone else has.
If so, does anyone have any pics they would be willing to share? It is always nice to get other ideas about a layout!!!
Thanks!!

The layout appears to be a really "fun" layout to construct and enjoy. Of course, my railroad is a fun project, too.<g>
Good luck with your railroad! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
I recommend this book to anyone planning a layout in any scale. It has a lot of good ideas and shows that one can enjoy building a layout.

Yes, up to a point. Have all the flat-land portion built, only partly sceniced. Life has thrown some other things at me that put the further construction on the sidelines for now.
I feel it is a good project for a first layout, or for someone without room for something more permanent. Construction of the base is quick and easy, and it's so darn light! I've learned a lot from what I've done so far, lessons that I hope to be able to put to good use soon.
There are a few things to look out for in building this plan, but they're fairly minor.
