Hello to all.My wife and I purchased an HO train set to go under the Christmas tree this year.  Much to my surprise my wife sugested we should put it around the den wall after Christmas is over. I agreed and that is now the plan.A couple of questions do come to mind.1. Do we need cork or styrofoam base on the shelf?  If so why? I do have some 3/4 inch styrofoam insulation I can use.2. Should I glue or nail the track down? (we do live in California)3. Is the power supply strong enought to run a train that far? (room is 13x22 feet) Or should i get a bigger one?4. There is a closet in theis room and we are going to run the train through the wall and across the back wall and out a different wall. We will have a night scene in there.  Are there any special things I need to know there. 5. Can anyone direct me to pictures of a setup like on the internet to get some ideas.Well that is all I can think of right now.Thanks for any help you might offer.[bow]73 de PoP [8D]
