I found this place while searching for info about an N scale collection on ebay. Reading up on it here helped me out a lot, I did not bid on it with some of the great info already posted here. After that, I did some more reading and found that this was a very nice forum full of great people and posts. So I decided to join. :thumb:
I might have done this backwards. I see that lots of people join to ask questions on builds and techniques. Our lay has be done for about a year now, and it's holding up well.

.
Here are some images and video of our setup. I would love to get some feedback, this is the first time I have ever shared it out beyond our family.
