I recently scrapped my third attempt at building a larger N scale railroad on homosote with Peco track and turnouts, and sold everything on E-bay. I used the proceeds to purchase all three of the Terrain for trains layouts and have just bolted them together. <br /> <br />I decided to use cork roadbed under the sectional track, and purchased the Atlas remote turnouts as well. Everything has been working perfectly and I have been very pleased with the operations. <br /> <br />I had some trouble attaching the Town of Rocky Ridge to the Quarry module, but some work with a small hobby saw allowed me to drop the roadbed level to achieve a smooth connection. <br /> <br />My only problem is pulling a train over 6 cars behind my Kato Mikado. I think I have found the cure by contacting Kato and purchasing a driver equipped with rubber tires. <br /> <br />I have found it very pleasing to have my layout operating already, and I am now starting to add paint and other landscaping features. <br /> <br />This has been a great experience.
