My new plans

till too much for a kid who already is over 200 dollars short for a dcc conversion.

Been there, then I had Christmas, and then my Birthday... With the gift cards. I got mine for $200.00, but I didn't earn all of the money myself. I see your problem, though.

Good luck, and standard track is cheaper!

Hello Everyone:

Daylight, the layout is a good idea, but you have to remember when using 18" radius, you are limited to the freight cars you can use, also you have to be careful on how close each loop is.

see I listened to the people on this group, and their ideas have helped me through a lot of headaches.

I am using 26 inch and 33 inch radius curves on my layout, I am using code 100 because of the vintage HO scale stuff I like to run.

the main table is 6' x 10' with an L extension of 4'x6'

two main loops with sidings and the L area is for the shops and roundhouse.

still working on it, but the main loops are done.

as for track, there is a few places online that are cheap ridge road station is one place that's pretty cheap for e-z track

take care

George
