OK, we have finally started on this layout. Trackplan was discussed here: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=25746 Some pics are below. Track is still temporary, but the risers are in. I didn't have a hot wire cuter, so I dealt with the little white balls. Nothing the shop vac...

The mockup has been started. Everything is just temporary while I check track, etc., but it works! My 4-8-2 pulls happily along the entire layout. Still need to try backing trains around to see what happens, but I'm optimistic. Still also need to add elevation to the outer loop and put the whole...

Thanks for the help. I wonder if I can use a table saw to cut a 4% grade into a pair of 2%'s. Probably not neatly, but it would be fun to try.

Hi all. I've been lurking for a while, but I am ready to start building a layout and would like some suggestions (you all haven't heard that before, right?) I've been out of trains for 25 years. Used to have HO, but the current house doesn't have room. But, my 11 year old really wants to...
