Hi,
My son has a Thomas table and we are moving on to model railroads now. I thought, with space being limited we might try making a board that fits on his table. We also want to try O because we have some of Grandpa's old trains and would be a good place to start with a 4 year old. Yes, it's the little guy that's been longing for the bazillion dollar Big Boy engine. I think he's going to get the Big Boy Model Kit (if I can track it down) and we 'll get a Lionel starter set for him.
Anyway - I have been poking around online and found some Micro-Layouts that got me interested in trying this. I figured I'd pop in here and ask the experts :o) Any ideas? Anyone ever do this? Can I make a continuous layout in that scale on that size board? Is there a free program or site ewhere I can use tracks to try creating a layout?
My first plan was to do a fold down board built onto the wall. i got that idea from this
But for O or even HO that would be huge right?
Thanks - we are going to jump in with both feet and have no experience at all!
