[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by DryHeatDan</i> <br /><br />Well, of COURSE we would recommend G scale. Wlecome to large scale railroading. <br /> <br />There are all sorts of options for raised tracks. Some of the commercial systems are Eagle Wings Ironcraft at http://www.eaglewingsironcraft.com/overhead.html and even Arosto Craft advertises what they call their Transit System at http://www.aristocraft.com/ (select Aristo-Craft Catalog on the left side, then Transit System about 2/3 down on the right). The commercial systems are pretty pricey, though, IMHO, so you might also look for information on this and other Large Scale forums about building your own. It isn't as hard as it sounds. <br /> <br />As for scale and other things about G scale, you will want to read the back posts in all the forums for newcomers' advice. The number one rule is <b>HAVE FUN!</b> <br /> <br />What kind of candy store does your wife have? My cousin has a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store and I LOVE visiting. I hadn't thought about putting a train in it but I'll have to suggest it. <br /> <br />Have fun and remember that there are no stupid questions. We've all been there (and some of us aren't that far past). <br /> <br />Dan <br />Cortez, CO <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks Dan. My wife's candy store is the Kalona Candy Company. She makes fudge and chocolates. She is just starting. I really appreciate your input. <br />David <br />
