Hello all. I've been a model railroader for 2 years but have messed up so many times that I just gave up on my first train set... My first Train set was a 4x 8 table, and my first screw up was putting track down with no roadbed...[xx(] which I am very ashamed about. So I found a way to fix that and many many other problems... with a chainsaw! Of course I took everything off the table first, but I cut a portion out of the table... approximately 2x 4... and I've decided to start small and attach more to it later (likely after I fini***his one piece) It's a very simple light piece that I will easily be able to haul around with me, The mountains and hill sides are done with styrofoam, which is easy to cut with a hot knife. I'll try to get a picture of it in if I can. Is that possible in forums? Also what do you suggest for a grade if the extension piece is approximately 2x 5 piece? When the Styrofoam is 2 inch thick Styrofoam and its stacked up to 8 inches high( I was after a canyon affect) then the track is right on top. Should start the descent Immediately on the extension? Will the descending track need to curve or will it be fine going straight down? Anyway I'm writing too much I'll let you guys read what I've put down before I put any more questions! [:)] I really appreciate the help!
