<p>I have a career and a hobby that don't see eye to eye sometimes. I have a really good job that often moves me from place to place around the country - and I am addicted to HO Scale model railroading (where many a paycheck has gone to indulge my 1:87th scale interest - never really liked N Scale). </p><p>Since I get moved a lot, my layout has (up to this point) been the typical "flat golf course" analog EZ-Track setup on a sheet of plywood and grassmat. It's no <font>Pelle Søeborg layout - and building a modular layout from scratch is currently out of the question (due to time).</font></p><p>I know ... half the fun of model railroading is the journey you take building the layout. And I know I could join local model railroad clubs (sometimes there aren't any nearby, sometimes they have so many membership requirements that it isn't worth it).</p><p>But there are times you just want to sit at home, and run your trains ... usually after dealing with annoying, clueless people all day long. </p><p>Anyway - I saw Terrain for Trains - out of box it looks modular enough to be bolted together (although they say "glue" together). Has anone tried to make Terrain for Trains (the HO layout) a modular finished layout? And if you hooked DCC up to it, how did you go about wiring it?</p><p>At first glance, Terrain for Trains looks like a good middle ground between my career and hobby - until I finally get to a point where I've settled down to build my "basement railroad empire." </p>
