Thanks for the clearance measurement above. Finally got my 726 finished, here's a photo. Runs like a champ.

Looks good!! I have a question, What is the height from the layout table to the top of your track on your second level? I have a 9" clearance that I can build upon, and still fold up my layout. Keep posting, with my small space, I am getting ideas from you..

mcd4x4, try http://www.pittsburghtrains.com/index.htm . Click on free dvd. RR-Track Lite software is also on the disc, and they will send to you. It's MTH specific, but it also has HO scale on the disc. It's free and can give you an idea if you would like to upgrade. I use it and it works...

Hey it's looking really good. I took your idea of ceiling tiles for a base. I looked at a 4x8 sheet of sound board, foam and a fiberous type. Clearly labeled warnings of smoldering and fire hazards. Running post-war loco's, I too wanted something fire retardant. My son is a fireman and...

Thanks Cannonball,.. I wish I had a room 20x30, but this is what I have. The grandson can't understand why Granpa can't get this finished sooner! I'll check out that site, I need all the help I can get!!

Well here it is,.. and it folds up. [Murphy Style?] Now some thinking on my part as how to fasten the accessories to the table. [NO GLUE!] I may have to make my own clamps to hold everything down. It's 5'X7' and I have 10" clearance from table top to wall when folded. No wiring will be exposed...
