Hey guys,
What do you think about the idea of having a modular layout here at Mayewood? We can use the existing layout for the few shows that we can attend, but I think it would be more of an individual experience for the kids if maybe one or two of them worked on a modul. I guess the first priority would be getting the lumber and track and setting the modules up so the trains could run. Then after we are sure we have a working setup they can add scenery etc. I have no idea how to do a modular layout and would really like some ideas. I have seen 4 foot modules but Im thinking with the amount of time we have and the limited resources that 2 foot modules would be better as it would let the kids get a sense of success, and if we started on it at the beginning of the year by christmas we should have a decent layout. I welcome all ideas, and look foward to what ya'll have to say.
