<p>[quote user="wm3798"]But Wait! Before you send the Black Helicopters after me, consider this... Have the pimply faced kid at the lumber yard cut your plywood up a bit... Like this:</p><p>[pic snip]</p><p>I built the above configuration for my son's HO stuff (Kids these days!) and using that good ole 4x8 plywood, we ended up with a 4x12 layout complete with an operators pit in the middle.</p><p>[pic snip]</p><p>The result was a longer mainline run, room for a small yard, and a couple of sidings to keep a young conductor busy.</p><p>Lee </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I like that idea. A good starter layout that's small enough to "finish", but large enough to allow both for running and switching. I always figured a 4x8 sheet of plywood could be cut up like that, but I couldn't ever visualize it. Cool. </p><p> </p>
