Hmm how to respond: I have heard the same thing on numerous projects I undertook. I think my fathers real exscuse was "he is sucking my money out of my pocket on wasted ventures" My father didnt finally be quiet until I built my own horse drawn funeral carriage yes it rolled and had the fifth wheel curtains the whole nine yards I was doing a hunted house at the time to make everyone comfortable. But if you have your mom's consent I think you have half a chance. also I would suggest a 4 x 8 layout there are tons of very interesting layouts done for that size of plywood. One other question what is it that your father would rather you do playstation, now there is a cheap brain sucking non creative hobby and look how cheap it is NOT! ZMight as well support you in your creative endeavor there are so many facets to fill your time with instead of being outo n the streets doing drugs or what not. My grandpa was theone who fueled my interest in trains not my dad. I would say ocme up with a compromise of sorts. The only reason I would guess the other layout hasnt been touched is that you can only watxch them go around and around so long. Remeber unless the next layout is creative with industires and sidings it will just be a bigger circle of track that will get boring again. N scale you can get a lot of track in a small space HO is ok if you do 1800's era those are small locos and cars. I have already started my 2 year old on his way to a train loving way of life. We have done two railfan trips this year to see the challenger 3985 and he helps and watches me work on my newest layout I love spending time with him and I know he does too. Of course it is still up to your parents but I would be excited to hear my son wanting to do a layout instead of stupid shoot em up games with death and destruction.
