Hey all, I am new at this, and I have been doing quite a bit of reseaech....heres what we ( my boys & I) have so far.......A basic set, some new alloy track...because the steel stuff was junk, and a new engine coming next payday. We are using HO scale. I am thinking of a 4x8 layout, I know thats big for what we have now, but I want to just get it started and then work on it slowly, till eventually we get 2 4x8's in an L shape. I am thinking of using 1/2 or 5/8 plywood, then the first question comes up.....Do we use cork to lay the track on? ( I think the answer is yes), then how do we fasten this to the plywood? gorilla glue? and then we just tack the track to the cork correct? I am sorry if these are silly questions, But I have waited since I was kid to do this and both my boys (as well as me) Love trains. I just want to make sure we are doing this thing right the first time. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
