When I built my house in 1996 the plan was to build a around the wall HO layout in the basement . I had the stairs going down in the center along with all the utitlies so all 4 walls were free to build my empire . Well I never did build the HO layout and then found G guage. If I would have known that I would be building outside I would have made sure the foundation walls were high enough to get the trains inside under their own power . Now if I were to cut into the foundation the tracks would be competing with the pipes and air conditioning ducts 6" from the celing . Its a real hassle to bring all the rolling stock in and out everytime I want to use them . A 30 car train and two locomotives means 64 trips up and down my stairs. Unless my wife helps then its ONLY 32 trips . Thats one car per trip . Sometimes I can grab two at a time . Hindsite is 20/20 .
