I'm just beginning the planning for an 'N' layout. I have a couple of options. The first is in a controlled and constant environment (a normal room in the living area of the house)but would have to be roughly half the size of the second option which would be in an insulated attic. This attic bonus room has AC/heat on a seperate unit from the house but it is usually turned to 'comfort' ranges only when someone is in there. I would rather not have to maintain the AC/heat at 'comfort' ranges year round as it would get pretty expensive for the 8 hours per month I might spend there.... <br /> <br />So my question is. Can I do a compromise and keep the temp within a certain range without having track expansion/contraction problems? If so how much temp variation could there be? Any thoughts would be appreciated...
