ok,, I have been lurking in the shadows for quite a while now and figured it is time to get in on all the fun,,,, fifty years old and building a 4x 8x12 layout,,, I hope it turns out half as good as what I have been seeing on here,,,, I'm using three sheets of inch thick blue foam with one inch wide slats every seven inches (overkiill I know) under it. Going to have some steam and early diesels ..,,, I got the super pretzel from atlas and am going to modify it somewhat,,,, Im going to try to post some pics,,, the track I have on it now is just to get used to how the dcc works and also to try things out before I start laying it all down for the real thing,,,,,also I have some fabric ordered to hang from the table to close the sides off,,, looks kinda unfinished in the pic,,,,, also plan on taking the pics off the wall and redoing it in railroad theme ,,,,,, one pic shows some tress my girlfriend made,, i didnt think they looked too bad for a first attempt,,,,,,, anyway,, i hope the pics work,,,,, ,,,,
