Hey guys, What do you think about the idea of having a modular layout here at Mayewood? We can use the existing layout for the few shows that we can attend, but I think it would be more of an individual experience for the kids if maybe one or two of them worked on a modul. I guess the...

Well gang, we have 99.9% of the track laid. The track is wired, except for the terminal and some jumpers going to the DCC station.
