HO / Layout naming scheme
December 22, 2015, 10:14:11 AM
Good morning,
As i have said before, I am in the process of purchasing my daughter and myself a HO scale railroad for Christmas this year. I would like to build it on a shelf style in the current "Playroom" at our home, due to limitations of space.

My question is this: Is there a certain name that I can search the net for, to gain plans/ideas for a layout that goes in a "U" shape around three of the four outer walls of the room?

I appreciate your helpful responses and time in advance!!

Thank you all for the information!

No jbrock27, I'm sorry to say that i didn't! Being new to this, and just discovering this forum today I just went with what was in the box, I had no idea there was a big difference... (If you don't mind, can you please explain the difference...)

If that will work, that will be great. I wanted more of a bridge with sides, if possible! However, if the simple piers will work, I'm good with that.

Brings up another question...  Will a normal/standard HO train fit under the piers you are talking about?

I am very new to trains and I am working with my daughter to construct a 4x8 layout in the HO scale.  Can you please tell me what all parts I will need to construct a bridge while using the EZ Track that was included with the set I purchased.  I have purchased additional EZ track for the layout I want.. Thank you in advance for your help!!
