:wave: Hi everyone and thanks for the quick replys, maybe I'll use the sawmill in the back of the layout to keep it in perspective and add a few "loggers cabins" near it and have them a tad smaller in size. Also I'm thinking of adding a second, smaller mountain, the one I have already also has...

Hi everyone :wave: I'm new to the hobby and was wondering, in HO scale what is the approximate size of a mountain compared to the trains, I've seen pictures where they used 2" thick foam stacked up around 5 or 6 layers high then thinned down with knives/scrapers/etc. Also I built a sawmill...

Hi everyone :wave: I bought a switch today along with a little more track, now I have an oval with an inside turnout, thinking of maybe building either a small train station or work place to add to my layout. Thanks to everyone for the welcomes and the quick answers, I'll be asking more soon...

Shaygetz: thanks for the welcome and I'm near Tampa for now, planning to move north to michigan before next winter (yeah I know, kinda crazy lol) MilesWestern: thanks for the welcome and yep, I kinda understand what it does, but how hard is it to hook up, I'm using eztrack with the athearn...

Hi everyone, I am new to the model railroad hobby, went to my first train show this past saturday and bought an Athearn HO set, now I have added 4 more 9" sections of track and would like to add a switch onto the setup. Now my question is this, exactly how do they work? (no laughing sign1 )...
