<p>[quote user="BMMECNYC"]"I had a 4x8 (or some such circular layout) when I was a kid, but I got bored with running a train around in circles after (some time period of time)".[/quote]</p> <p>This makes me wonder if there is some hybrid alternative that would be a alternate recommendation than the standard 4x8.</p> <p>Im thinking layouts like the Rice Harbor Project railroad and the Virginian project railroad or some variation on those themes might be a good alternate suggestion to those looking to build a layout that does more than a circle. I admit that the additional carpentry skills required may be a turn off.</p>
