Wayne: Sounds like you are on your way. One thing that I forgot to mention is when you get to go to swap meets keep your eye out for railroaders that are selling flex track cheap. If you can get it a good price you can just strip off the flex ties and then you have the rail. I also like using the dona cona board to build things on the work bench. Say you are doing an industry, you can cut a piece of the board a little larger than the size you are building,I go a couple of inches away from the building or yard area, work on the building at your work area then just take it back to the layout and set it on top of the layout where it is to go until it is time to put it into place. Once you want to incorperate it into the layout just use a pensel, trace around the outside edge of the piece you worked on, then cut out the dona cona board on the layout and drop your new piece in. You can loosely add scenery around it and take it up again any time that you need to. This way you can also change industries without ripping a lot up, just pull out the in place piece and with the same size of base add a new one. <br />If you want funny names for your industries some one put about ten pages worth of funny names on one of these type of sites, I looked this morning for it and I am unable to find it again, lucky I printed it off so if you want a copy let me know and I will send it some how, by computer or fax. Keep in touch and let us know how things are going. Ron..
