Loren...I gave my demension to Spitfire a while back and on his reply to me on 9-22-07 he came up with the following drawing which clearly shows my layout tables that I have to work with. My thanks go out to you again Spitfire for the illustration.:thumb:

Lynn the tunnels would be in the corners as shown. I was trying to figure out some way to come up with a removeable tunnel that I could remove by lifting it up and out of the way while I performed track maintenance. I have a cutout section on the righthand side of the center section where I can...

Loren thanks for the reply/idea. I did want to include a over and under somewhere but could not figure out where it would fit in. I think that would add more interest. I will also lower the front track and try that. Yes, this is the type of help I am looking for. Since everything is...

Thank you all for the information I was asking because we have bought more track so as to end up with something more interestig than the basic figure eight layout. We would like to have longer straight aways with inclines (If that is what you call the straight track arrangementin model...

Hello All....This may seem like a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway. I bought my grandson a new train set that came with a bridge and plastic risers to make an elevated grade. What I want to ask is, if I decide to continue the grade to make it longer and therefore higher (hope this...

Thanks for the input I have enjoyed reading all the feedback from everyone. Even though DCC terms, etc. are greek to me I am slowly learning. In the meantime we have set up or DC layout and are having some fun. There is still a lot of work to do be done but at least my grandson can run his...

First off thanks for all your responses. Since I am fairly new at this I guess I should not have asked for help without further explaination.

Welcome to the group. Great folks here.

Sounds like God is working to get you through this. Keep the positive attitude and I am sure that you will overcome the setback. I will pray for you and remember that He has a plan for everyone of us.
