building a bit at a time is not a option for the yard unless I had some place close by to pick up a pack or two at a time then it would be a go for shure ,but spending 30$ for gas to go to a hobby shop is a bit much for anything under 150$ at a time and ordering from manufactures most have a miniumal order and shipping amount . as for cutting the strips I don't have the temrepmet for doing that, too many rejects and too much time, the yard if built would have been entered in the NMRA meet this fall and there judges are nit pickers as far as scale size is. so its back to the farm sted.
