Alright, I'm 15 years old, live in Vermont, not much around for hobby shops in my area (Burlington / South Burlington.. biggest Vermont Cities, and there are no hobbyshops in my scale..N..) I went to the local hardware store and got some 'leftovers'. I managed to get a 2x4 piece of quarter inch plywood, all square edges and no problems with the board itself. I then bought some 2x3 pine boards to support the bottom of the plywood. We (Grandpa and I) had also found some nails for his nailgun (Yes, we used a nailgun to secure the track. The nails were roughly the size of standard HO/N track nails, and thank god one of his nailguns is small enough.). The total cost was under 15 dollars! My track plan consists of an oval (10.5 inch radius with one inch clearance on all sides) with a left hand turnout on the operators side. Off this turnout is a right hand curved turnout, that allows me to have a 'team track' between the mainline, and the newly acquired yard. The 'main' side of the second turnout allows me to switch/setout cars. When I get back to the US, if you like I can draw up this track plan for you. I'd be happy to do this. <br /> <br />Note: I forgot to add one thing in about the layout. There is a third turnout. It is located right before you enter one of the turns. This is so that I can continue adding 'modules' to this layout. I plan on adding 2 more modules, another 2x4 module, and then a 2x4 module to the end of the second one, making it into an L shape.
