I am another "newby" with about 12 HO trainsets, and have never seen them run on a layout. I have decided to fix that.
I have a woodlot and we process alot of hardwood for fireplace use.
Last Fall, I made an amazing discovery and that is when splitting Ecyuptlis logs, the small chunks that splinter off, look just like the "Red Rock' that you find in Sedona, Az and also at Lake Powel, (AZ/Utah).
I know that I will eventually have the heaviest layout in exhistance by using these pieces, but mother nature has afforded me the opportunity to do so.
I am still looking for a good plan with plenty of long runs on a 12X8 ft layout.
Any suggestions?
I have run into a problem.
I bought the Model Power "Acela" last year and added three Bachman cars this year and the couplers are miles apart from matching.
I never opened the MP set until the Bachman cars arrived.
What are my options?
Thanks for your help,
