<p>i <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">have a bit of envy for you guys with established layouts. i am hoping to build mine this fall. i have until the end of feb. before baby number 3 comes around, so time is speeding up. built my trestle template this weekend. next i will scale lumber (cedar 2x6's). looks like i will be setting up to use flex track, handlaid rail, battery & rc. i specifically wanted to have it going before Christmas so the boys and i can run it in the snow, have a large bay window that they can control from on the inside and ol' dad can do the running in and out (if necessary). truthfully i probably wont make the deadline considering the larger number of variables in getting a competent layout together ($), i figure that whether i have everything by then or not doesnt matter so much. i will at least be tackling the list so that the progress is made as timely as possible. the dollar challenge is actually entertaining, allows me to do as i was taught (by a family of farmers), find rough raw materials and cobble the product with a high degree of craftsmanship. looking forward to the hobby.</font></p><p>noble</p>
