I am a novice model railroader and have built your average flat 4x8 layout. I want to move on to something bigger and better with grades and reverse loops and double-track mainline(I love running 2 or more trains at once). So I've gone through Atlas' "Fantastic Layouts" and I've decided on attempting one of the layouts from Ho-23 to Ho 36. I have my eye set on number 23 (Folded Dogbone with Branch) and was just wondering if anyone has either built the Ho-23 or any of the other more complex Atlas Layouts(HO-24-36). As well if anyone can send me some pictures of their "Fantastic Layouts" or even their Own track plans for their design...It would be GREATLY appreciated as I need some ideas!!! If anyaone is familiar with HO-23 any TIPS or ADVICE on this layout would be great. BTW: Also HO-23 is a 5&1/2 by 8 footer so any ideas on how I could build the base for the layout..as the Lumber Yard does not carry plywood or Rigid Foam in this size. ThankS
