I can't really figure out how to put a small layout like this in my room though, The only place I can put a 4x6(or 4x8) is against the wall, and that causes reach problems, i may have to put an access hole in the middle If I am to do that.
Here is another Wants and Needs list:
Needs:
Continuous running
18" radius
Lots of scenery
Southern Pacific Branchline setting
Transition Era
Wants:
Turntable
Some decent switching operation
A decent sized town
some hills and tunnels
Have at least a 2x1 removable access
small yard
So if you have decided that you want to stay in HO, and want to have most of what you have listed - follow the master, and if your result is half as good as his, feel very proud! This is the original layout of the G&D, and Mighty Oaks grow from very small acorns!
