I had your Ferrari, I'd find it very hard to find time to work on a train layout, Ed! But then, with gasoline prices being what they are, I suppose I would.

3'x4' oNeTrak module (ie n-scale). At home I keep it enclosed in a Plexiglass case with removable top. I take it to shows minus the case to connect to my clubs layout. I have a DIY DCC and a Digitrax Zephyr system.

It consists of two layers connected by a helix:

Bottom: oval with internal reverse loop, yard with turntable, in/out industries (Coal mine/Power Station), lots of tunnels, mainline for oNeTrak connection;

Top: oval with internal reverse loop, town, station, river gorge, mountains.

Owning a Ferrari ain't all is cracked up to be, what with $11,000 timing belt replacement. I just sold it last week. I didn't drive it that much anyway: only 10,000 miles in 10 years. I think a mini-cooper convertible is in my future.

What takes more time away from trains are the guitars, skiing, travel, and video production for my daughter's school (I'm only two plays behind right now).

Beautiful presentation and layout. Really. Well done.

Not started yet. Still trying to design something I like. The building I have in the backyard for it is about 16' x 44', just under

700 square feet. See link below.

The old one was in an 18' x 19' L-shaped room, most of which was a room addition behind the carport storage shed. The new one will be in the 12' x

18' portion of that room, after the room gets rebuilt following some serious rain damage (yes, Virginia, it really does rain in Phoenix!). Fortunately, all of the locomotives, cars, buildings, etc. had already been boxed up and moved into the house; I started planning last year for a new layout and better storage space out there, and actually had about 80% of the layout gone when the rains came.

HO scale, point to point switching layout with a drop-in bridge to allow continuous running when the mood strikes.

Room addition behind the carport, attached to the house but separate from the living quarters. Separate heating/cooling, even a separate electrical sub-panel for it.

Attached to the house.

Pictures in future weeks/months as things progress at

Overall size is 22 by 38 feet, but need to subtract an area of 7 by 15 feet from that where the utility room is.

Is that really a separate free-standing layout in the center of the room, or is it a penisula connected to the rest of the layout??

'O' Gauge. 32' x 8'. It's actually 2 4x8s connected by 2 2x8s. Nothing fancy but I can run long trains.

I can't get more that 32' x 4' or 24' x 8' out of those 4 boards? Keith
