hi gang! I was afraid to tackle handlaid too, untill I saw one of our club members setup a turnout, then I was hooked. As I live in a small apartment, I have to practice in a small area. The missus allowed me right of way above the kitchen cabinates which worked perfect for porters and 0-4-0s of all kinds. I used 1/4" birch plywood for sub base ( 4 bucks at a budget lumber store) and 3/8" square molding for ties ( 10 cents a foot @ the same place) as our club went with code 332 they were tossing out the code 250 in the scrap heap.I picked the rail up ( aluminum rail) with the clubs blessings (and a little more volenteer work at the club house). I bought spikes from a hobby shop and off I went. After the first turnout , the rest was easy. and I got this wonderful sense of accomplishment when the golden spike was layed! 16 feet of track and 2 turnouts were laid in a weekend and a half.. and watching my porter finally run on track that i made, was the BEST!
