"2" layouts <br /> <br />1) age 15, built the bench, drew the 6x12 plans, made lots of buildings, weathered cars and superdetailed blue box diesels. Never laid a piece of track, due to puberty, cars, school, etc. <br /> <br />2)21 years later, after race cars, mtn bikes, gunsmithing, marriage, I am back to making layout #2. I have built an L-girder bench, 2" foam base, simple 8x8 plan, dozens of superdetailed diesels. Want to attempt DCC and foam scenery. <br /> <br />My lessons - don't make it too complicated. What looks great on paper may be impossible to build, and look totally unrealistic in real life. Buy top quality lumber - everything starts from there, using cheap warped stuff will only lead to unnecessary and insurmountable frustration.
