Thanks again everyone and as always I appreciate your help and the knowledge that comes with it.[:)] Keep it comin. You guys really opened up my eyes about the ideas I can do with the typical 4x8. I dont know why I didnt think of that before concerning about going away from the standard 4x8 block sheet of plywood and instead cutting isles and weird shapes out of it. Byron's website was excellent as was Rich's idea of a dogbone shape. The dogbone shape could definatly make for a neat layout. Maybe have a seperate little town at each end. Have hidden turnouts at the ends of it as well so the train can turn around instead of making the loop on the layout itself and in return taking up space. Im sure Im going way over my head with my future layout. As a newbie, I know I should keep it simple but its so hard to follow that path when your excited about something. Never knew about this "scale speed" either, mentioned by BRVRR. I figured you guys just turned it up a slow to medium speed and let her loose. No wonder I read about operation sessions taking a few hours. Steve
