Made some good progress this weekend! Sorry I can't upload pictures direct to my posts. I can't seem to get them small enough to upload here. Be patient with this noob and check out the links. Any and all suggestions welcome. http://www.the-gauge.com/gallery/files/6/2/3/5/TestingStructures.jpg...

I've seen layouts at train shows that have plexi-glass screwed in around the outside of their layout to protect it and you can see the foam layers. :oops: I've seen pictures of what looks like 1/8" composite material, usually brown, trimmed to match the height of the "ground" around the...

Speaking of deals or cheap/free materials.... I drove down a new housing development street the other day and happened so see a guy throwing foam insulation cut offs into a dumpster! I asked him if I could have the scraps and VIOLA.....more foam! Warning....ask first! Don't just take. I took...

The flextrack is Atlas. I slid one rail back and feed a slid out rail from the next section into the first one, thus "joining" the two pieces. I did this with all the track. I bend a piece of copper wire into a --u-- shape and solder it between the joints. I did try pins to hold the track down...

It seems that for every 2 steps forward, I fall 1 step back. In reply #20 I have pictures of my flex-track joints. I joined about 10 pieces together and started laying them. How can I temporarily hlod them down? I tried 2 different types of pins, but the couplers hit them. Besides just flat head...
