[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bman36</i> <br /><br />Hey Superchief, <br /> My model railroading began at the tender age of five. By age 7 I wanted to take my HO scale trains outside to play with. Mom and Dad were quick to explain that this was not done and the train had to stay in the house. Nuts....Well now I'm 38...ooops did I say that? Anyways, and Mom and Dad no longer have a say in where I run my trains. Almost 3 years ago I was on ebay and clicked on a misplaced item which turned out to be Large Scale. Now what is this??? A lot of investigating later I knew I had to give this a try. I CAN TAKE MY TRAINS OUTSIDE???!!! Now this was too good to be true. Real dirt, real rocks, real water, REAL GOOD! A local toy store was clearing out some Aristo Craft at 40% off so I bought just about everything they had. There went my year end bonus from work. Money well spent. HO will always have a place with me but Large Scale has me hooked now. My outdoor layout is 16'x35' and will be connected to my indoor layout via the basement window. The indoor portion runs around the perimeter of the basement and is mounted to the wall. What do I like most? All the great people I have met on this forum. We are a rare breed, but growing! You really should check out a layout for yourself if you can. Words can't hardly describe how really different running outdoors really is. Thanks for asking! Later eh...Brian. <br />[/quote] <br />That sounds really impressive! Got a question (or two): how will you configure the entry from outside to inside the basement? What will you use to keep out the elements and critters given the point of entry? [:)]
