Good info pcarrell. Thanks. On to your questions. This is where my amateur status shows. All the materials I'm using were my grandfathers. I "found" them again after about 25 years in the attic. My goal is to use all the HO track, inexpensive trains, and buildings we have already to make something that my son (4 yrs old), father-in-law and I can enjoy together. When my son is a bit older we'll upgrade engines, buildings and scenery. For now I'll keep it interesting by having lots of tunnels and bridges - something boys of all ages enjoy!!! Our theme comes from Matthew 5:14, A city on a hill cannot be hidden. So our layout includes a city on a second level. The base level is the size of two full 4x8 sheets of OSB attached to form an "L" shape. I'm working on a sketch of the track plan and scenery and I will post here when its done...if they allow pics to be posted.
