I have a town boxed up that is loosley based on Thrumund, WV that I would like to use but also enough sawmill items to cover the board alone. This started out as a loop of track and a Roundhouise Shay engine. Now I have enough junk to fill a double bay garge layout.

I have 3 Shays and some two dozen engines, if my wife knew the dog and I would bein the garage with it for sure and on a 24 hour basis.

At leat my camping gear is out there, I wont starve:mrgreen:

Looking good. Be careful of the lay-out being on the floor. My son-in-law started an N layout this weekend. He left it on the floor and his son (10 months old) tore it up last night. :cry:

lesson learned....

And infant children would be bringing in a close second. :eek:

She is a keeper.
Lays by me all day while I play, er..I mean work.

I may put legs on it if I keep it.

Depends..

It is meant to double as a platform for the under tree O gauge set this Christmas so I am not going to attach a lot of stuff to it.

Any suggestion as to painting it as underlayment for soil, grass and gravel? What colors? OD green, grey???

If it's going under the tree, I wouldn't worry about putting legs on it.
Well... Unless you have a very short tree.
As far as scenery goes, if it's a Christmas layout, why not just go with a can of spray on snow?
 
The last two years I used that foam snow in the bags and it ippacted my vaume cleaner motor and burned it up.

I want to use it for my old Lionel tains at Christmas.

I have pre and post war plus standard gauge I rotate from year to year.
