I have recently moved into an apartment and had to leave my 4x8 n scale railroad at my fathers house and I kept on trying to figure out how to fit a small railroad in the office and today I DID.! <br /> <br /> I`m sure that many of you know how expensive it gets building a railroad .I spent about $450.00 on my 4x8 it is nice,it was my first layout and I worked on it for a year and a half.It tookalong time . <br /> <br /> today I built the benchwork and frame of the layout with track for about $56.00 and it looks very nice rough around th edges ,but nice. I was bound and determined to do it today.this morning I bought some Kato unitrack the K-1 set for $32.00 took a piece of 1-4 sheetrock from pops shed and cut it 5 foot long and 33 inches wide. I went to home depot and picked up 4 12 foot 1x4 s for about $24 bucks and had the guys at home depot cut the dimentions I nedded. <br /> <br /> I screwed the sheetrock down on a 1x4 frame an put three foot legs on it braced on.I yook a 1x4 and screwed it to the bottom of the leading edge so I have a ledge to mount my electrics .MY small nScale is rolling around in a circle and it only took me about 4 hours and $56 bucks ..THAT`s WHAT I CALL SQUEKING. <br />
