Mister Beasley, <br />There is a Hobby Town nearby. They mostly cater to RC cars and such. They have some rail stuff but knowedgable information isn't in stock. For that I rely on you folks and the growing collection of model railroader books I am ammassing. I will take your advise on the power supply. <br />The benchwork surface height is 40" I also added rails at 12" off the floor. As time progresses I intend to build a step/platform at this height so our boys can enjoy as well. I seem to be able to reach all areas fairly comfortably, and quite easily if standing on the step rail. I read that benchwork is commonly much higher, but the project began as an endeavor shared between myself and the boy. And any higher seemed to eliminate him unless he were atop a ladder. You are absolutely correct about the hypotenuse of the back corner. I noticed that right away. I want to ask for more space in the garage to allow for a complete walk around, but intelligence dictates that now is not the time to broach my wife with such a question. But for now getting a cheap power supply and running the train should placate me. <br />Thanks so much.
